My Mom's cousin, Jeanne, is in town visiting for a week. Tonight Rylee and I stopped over for some of my Mom's delicious homemade pizza and were surprised with gifts - for me, for Rylee and for baby!
My Mom got me a gorgeous watch and necklace over at The Best of Everything in Bonita Springs yesterday. It's always nice to keep those birthday gifts coming days later! :)
Jeanne bought the baby three adorable outfits: a sleeper that came with a matching blanket buddy, a onesie and pant outfit in a western/ horse theme with a little matching jacket, and a baseball onesie with a baseball on the butt in MN Twins colors. They were all so cute! And since she didn't want Rylee to feel left out, she had a bunch of treasures for her too - hidden all around the house that Rylee had to follow clues to find. It was a present scavenger hunt!
Here's an example of one of Rylee's clues:
"Big sisters rule! Baby brothers drool!
Sisters sometimes help in the kitchen cause Mom needs extra helping hands.
Because you're so sweet, look by the fridge for a treat."
Rylee found a bag of jelly beans by the fridge and a note that lead her to the top of the stairs where she found a purple stuffed bear. Then it was off to Gaga's room where she found a pretty pink pinwheel and finally into the guest room where she discovered a Squinkie's board game. Rylee loved everything and had a blast looking for her presents. Jeanne is so creative and fun (you won't be surprised to find out that she was an amazing teacher who ran the gifted program at our school)! :)
Thanks to my Mom and Jeanne for a wonderful night. Both Rylee and I needed some cheering up so we really appreciated it!

The scavenger hunt is really sweet. I always want to do it with the kids but either run out of time or have no fun ideas. I need a copy of her playbook! I bet Rylee was all smiles.
