Fancy Footwear!

I've decided that I am one blessed cookie! I have so many people in my life who are just so good to me and my family. The other day when I went out to the mailbox, there was an unexpected package in there from my dear friend Tina, who lives all the way across the ocean in Morocco! What could this be? I opened it and caught a glimpse of sparkle and saturated color! How fun was this?! I called to the girls to hurry downstairs to see what Tina had sent them! New, fancy slippers!!! They immediately let out excited little shrieks and squeals of excitement and slid them onto their feet. They fit perfectly!

I described to the girls what the marketplace would have been like where Tina found them. I said it was probably like the marketplace in Aladdin, so they were like Princess Jasmine slippers! Maryn quickly informed me that they were not Princess Jasmine slippers. Jasmine's slippers were blue and curly, hers were purple with sparkly snowflakes! Duh, what was I thinking! All I know is they were a huge hit! We can hardly get Brynna to take hers off even to go outside. If you say "Brynnie, do you like your slippers?" She'll squeal "I love my Maracca slippers!!" Thank you so much Tina! You are the best, girlfriend!

Those are so pretty! I would wear those all the time too! Unexpected packages are THE BEST! They seriously brighten my whole week. Sometimes I like to order things I don't need - just to get the package!

Yeah! You got them! I'm so glad the girls liked them. We'll have to get Lauryn a pair too! Hugs from Morocco!

I agree, the further away we get packages, the more special and unique they seem. What a terrific way to be able to enjoy another countries princess pleasures.

Gotta love Tina! What a thoughtful, fun gift. Tina always had a knack for knowing what a girl likes!
