I knew we would already have wonderful memories to bring with us back to the States, but our friends have been so generous to give us a few tastes of England to bring back with us. These are all the lovely things the ladies gave to me at my surprise mum's night at the pub last night. A Union Jack teapot cozie, Union Jack candy tin, Truly Great tray, Union Jack cross stick pillow, Keep Calm and Carry On tea towel, a huge tea cup to grow herbs in and the Mrs. Beeton's British Cooking book. I can't wait to have my own kitchen so that I can deck it out in all my British stuff!!!
Jack and Holli brought over special gifts for the kids. They each got a special book - Accidentally on Purpose and You Choose. These are Jack and Holli's favorite books and they wanted to share them with the kids.
The Beales' also came over with some special gifts for everyone. Gemma has made her transformation into pre-teen and thought she would like to share with Addison all the fairy bits she had from her room. These were very, very special items and it was a very big deal for Gemma to share them with a very special girl who could use them.
These were also very, very special fairies of Gemma's that she asked me if it was okay for her to give them to Addison. I wanted to make sure it was really okay with her to give them away and she insisted that she wanted to pass them on to Addie. They had a very serious conversation about who each of the fairies are and what special gift they had. It was so sweet.
They didn't forget Harry either and found him a cute little double decker bus which of course he loved!!!
