Sophie gives a gift

Monday evening was our niece Jordan's little family birthday party - she turned 14 on Sunday. Ella and Eva had made her some cards the other day, and Sophie decided to make one too. After she'd made her card, Ella showed me the envelope Sophie had put it in and told me she had seen her put 50 cents in it. You could see two quarters. I thought that was very cute! She had also gone and found a Wolf Pack Lawn return address sticker and put it on the front of the envelope. She was really excited to give it Jordan.

So tonight, Jordan opened her card and poured out the 50 cents, and then she pulled out the picture Sophie had colored. I thought that was it, but Jordan reached in for more. She then pulled out a 20 dollar bill, and a 1 dollar bill. WOW! Sophie is quite generous! She had gone and found her wallet (we keep it ourselves because she likes to play with her money and leaves it laying around), and used her own money to give Jordan a birthday present. How sweet! Shawna gave me the $21 back on the sly though to put back in Sophie's wallet - but we let Jordan keep the 50 cents :)

That is the cutest! We love Sophie, what a sweetheart! I love that she even put a wolfpack return address sticker on the front of the envelope, just in case Jordan needed to return the envelope sometime!
