and look what aunt kimmy sent ..

a little history here .. before we get to what aunt kimmy sent ..

when ellie turned 2 .. gasp .. 6 years ago .. gasp and choke .. this box that is almost as big as ellie arrived from new york .. even at 2 ellie knew who lived in new york .. aunt kimmy .. her fairy godmother ..

ellie carefully unwrapped it ..

to find a box that said american girl ..

this is kit .. aunt kimmy got ellie kit for her 2nd birthday .. so now .. for her 8th birthday aunt kimmy sent ...

kit some skis ..

and poles of course .. so that kit can join us when we go to colorado to ski .. poor kit was not able to hit the slopes with us last year because she did not have any skis .. that will not be the case this year .. thanks to aunt kimmy ..
