STUFFED

Though the kids are both getting older, one thing has not changed - their love for stuffed animals. Indeed, for the past ten years, we have ordered them a stuffed animal from the list of endangered species from the World Wildlife Fund (WWF). 

Though Cate decided to get a bracelet from WWF instead this year, Nicholas said he was game for getting another one. He let Cate pick, and she chose this lovely fella, an Amur leopard.

We have quite a collection by now, and a few of them looked longingly at the frigid conditions outside on our first day back to Michigan this week!
