Our new puppy Aiden.......kind of.......???????

As you know, we had planned to surprise our girls & bring home our new puppy, Aiden, on Easter morning. So Randal/Daddy got up early, drove over the breeder's house to get him, who also happens to be our really good friend, Pam. Her teenage son (sleepily) met Randal at the door with a sweet little puppy in a carrier. Randal brought the puppy upstairs before all of our girls were awake & we put the puppy in an Easter basket with a blue bow & put a blue bow around the puppy's neck. We woke up our girls, brought them into our room where the puppy was waiting for them in the basket & we took some really sweet pictures of their sleepy but VERY excited reaction to seeing their Easter present, their new puppy! We played with the puppy for about an hour & took lots of pictures of our girls playing with & cuddling their puppy. After getting the puppy settled back in the crate for the morning so we could get ready for church, we got a phone call......... it was our friend, Pam, the breeder. She said, "um.......you have the WRONG PUPPY!" Her son had accidentally given Randal Aiden's sister, Paisley who we had been loving on, taking pictures of & playing with all morning!!!!!!! I heard Randal answer the phone & he said, "Hi Pam. What......we have the wrong puppy? Are you serious?" I ran out of our room & said, "What did you just say?" I thought he was totally kidding! Sooooooo, we don't have any pictures of Easter with our little Aiden but lots of his sister Paisley! We were shocked but Randal & I could see the humor in it. Our girls, on the other hand....... one of them burst into tears & said, "I want my Easter puppy!" through her sobbing! It was so sad but kind of funny at the same time! So, Pam brought Aiden over around 3 pm after lunch & our MANY egg hunts & we exchanged Paisley for our little guy! On the way to church our girls, including the one who had the meltdown, started laughing & said, "it's kind of funny & it's great that we actually get to play with TWO puppies today!" I love my sweet girlies.......emotional (sinful
; )!) but oh so lovable! : ) Our girls are totally in love with their new puppy! He is so sweet & very smart! Now that we have had Aiden for a few days my camera is doing strange things so I can't seem to get any good, non-blurry pictures! I'm working on figuring it out so hopefully we'll post some pictures of our girlies with their new puppy very soon! (I know, Susan, I know, but I really promise this time! : ) !) We had a wonderful, very sweet & memorable Easter as a family! Hope yours was great too!
