Some of the girls waited for the mailman and got to the package first! (SuBeth, Marjorie Ann, Sally, Joni Hope and Sheryl Crow.)

Joni Hope, the Chattyette of the group, was reading the label and noticed the foreign claims voucher and return address. "It says it is from Loretta in Canada! Wow!!"

The girls examine the pretty pink tissue and admire the stickers, too.

"Let 'er rip!!"

SuBeth and Sheryl open and admire the lovely card Loretta sent.

Self explanatory. Everybody getting into everything!!

Contents of box: Card and sweet notes… Note from Loretta to Donna; a note from Christina for big Chatty and a note from Catherine for a Chattyette. There was a bunny in a pail filled with Easter Eggs; a chocolate bunny, by Purdy's; a dress for big Chatty; and matching dress for Chattyette. Big Chatty got a lovely pair of matching shoes and sox with purple roses on them, too! And there was the loveliest crocheted hat. SuBeth and Joni Hope lucked out in getting to wear the new clothes. But all of the girls will share and take turns!!

Sally, sitting and holding the chocolate bunny!

SuBeth dressed in new outfit, wearing the hat, and posing with the bunny in the pail and the chocolate bunny.

Sue Beth showing off the back of her outfit and showing off those fancy rhumba panties!! You can see the Loretta name tag in the back of the dress. We call this her "Julia Sugarbaker pose" ! (Gag line from Designing Women.)

Joni Hope modeling her new chattyette outfit. She is posing with the same items SuBeth modeled with. See the little round "box" the chocolate bunny came in.

The gift items while still packaged, and before dolls were dressed.

Joni Hope and SuBeth together, showing off the long awaited swap gifts! LORETTA outdid herself! The outfits are so lovely!! AWESOME! Thank you so much Loretta!!

While at the CCCG Retreat, we had a dress swap. These dresses were the ones I obtained in that swap.
