Fortune Baby Booties

We found out we were expecting close to Christmas so we decided we would wait and surprise our family the morning we were all opening our gifts. We decided that we would make "fortune booties" and so we bought the smallest baby booties we could find (one for every family present) and we put a small fortune inside of it that read "Confucius sees a new addition to your family. Your lucky day is July 31st." We then wrapped the booties and on Christmas morning gave everyone tier package at the same time after all the gifts were opened (saved the best for last). We had even managed to courier some to our family that was not present that morning to arrive Christmas morning. Our family all opened the gifts and were a little confused and then almost started screaming simultaneously. It was a moment we will NEVER forget and neither will they.
