the surprise package

A package addressed to Otto and Piper arrived in the mail yesterday.

That might have been thrill enough for them.

Piper opened it right there in the car.

It was something wrapped in thick padding.

She carefully pulled off the extra paper.

Every other kid is anxiously watching. Enjoying Piper and Otto’s obvious excitement.

Inside the package is ……… a glass bottle!

A glass bottle filled with sand and shells.

Sand and shells and two letters.

Otto wanted to hold the bottle while London read the words out loud to him.

London read a darling invitation to Otto and Kevin read the adorable invitation to Piper that asked them both to participate in their cousin Amber’s summer wedding.

Piper Finn feels as if it’s a dream come true. She can’t wait to wear the beautiful dress. While playing dress up and wearing a formerly cute princess gown she asked, “Should you call Amber the wedding girl and ask if she wants me to wear this dress?”

I’m not going to lie – I’m pretty thrilled about it too!
