I can't believe how great Hope looks, especially all decked out in her reindeer gear! Each and every one of them is so precious. What a great pic. of Tripod!! Now that's what I call a "stuffie!" You are truly an angel! I wish you all the best with your extra special new project! It sounds SO hopeful!! Please give all the "kids" hugs and kisses!! Love, Sandra, Cody and Star
