Mom, I Have A Confession To Make......

We opened your Christmas present early.  (insert sheepish grin here).  See, being the planners that we are, we had already decided on what we were going to buy with the money.  And we decided that it would be much better to have it on Christmas, rather than have to buy it after Christmas.  We bought this:

Hali's skirt took me forever.  I don't think I want to see another ruffle again for a long time.

PS.  The "money vessel"  is stunning.
