Adoption occurred today

Today is a big day. We received a wonderful gift. The opportunity to adopt a 28 year old Cabbage Patch baby named Muriel Jill. Muriel came to us from a special Great-Grandma Lucille Roos.

In 1986, grandma Roos gave me a blonde cabbage patch just like Muriel. I have wonderful memories of my cabbage patch. I even learned how to French braid hair on her head of yarn.

Please notice her bangs. They wrap all the way around her head. So 1985...and awesome.

Although this gift is for Natalie, I think this gift will stay in the box on a shelf, along with daddy's oodles of baseball cards and Legos. Plus, the box says Muriel is for ages 3 and up. :) we have a while.
