Birthday Presents


LateJune2012108, originally uploaded by Chiara and James Hemsley.

Norah had a ton of fun putting together some of her birthday presents this year! In the background is a birdhouse from Nonna and in the foreground is a really neat fairy garden that took us a LONG time to make. First, Norah painted the fairy's house and the toadstools and the stones. Then she painted the container. Then, we filled it with the special dirt (which had sparkles in it--the prettiest dirt I done ever did see!). Then, we planted some grass seeds and beans and put the fairy and some butterflies in. Then we watered it and now it's growing! Luca so desperately wanted to help, so here he is trying to weasel his way closer to the garden so he can "help, too!"
