My birthday present from my folks arrived this weekend. Yes, my birthday was a month ago-- it took longer to make than anticipated. And it was absolutely worth the wait.
It's an Alice necklace! My mom ordered it from BabyFaces Pets. I opened it on the street outside the Post Office Saturday morning, and started crying and ooh-ing so much that I embarrassed myself in front of the whole block. I think, though, that if anyone passing by had gotten such a great present, they would've done the same.
Thanks for the wonderful present, Mamala and Popsy!
