George & Art,
I just wanted to send a few pictures of Madison opening Charlie on Christmas morning! It was her only real present that day & she just couldn’t imagine what it was because the box was pretty heavy. About a week before Christmas she had told me she was so mad because she forgot to put a Chatham Village Bear on her Christmas list (that made me even more excited!). When she opened that box (as you can see in the pics) her jaw literally fell open! It was so great!!! Thanks for making this holiday so special for her. Hope you both had a nice holiday too!Take care,
Jodi
