This video is a little longer than we usually make them, but Jackie and Sarah got so much great footage of yesterday’s party that I had trouble deciding what to leave out. Enjoy!

Elizabeth — There is no such thing as LONG when it comes to video of the 7! Everything was wonderful but I certainly have a soft spot for that last shot of Burrito eating from his V’s Day box. :)
Is there any common thread in the dolls that Foxie prefers? Can you predict which she’ll like better than others or does she still surprise you? I loved when she held Dora out and looked like she was mesmerized by her.
Foxie still loves her troll dolls (bonus points if they still have their hair). In general, she seems to prefer hard-bodied (plastic) dolls to soft-bodied (cloth) ones. She’s been especially fond of a couple of versions of Dora the Explorer recently. Other than that, it’s hard to predict what will catch her eye.
I could watch a 2 minute video everyday of our chimps. Looks like it was a swell party and enjoyed by all.
what a wonderful party you threw for the chimps. Don’t know who was cuter, Foxie snuggling her new dolls or Burrito dancing after finding the coconut :)
Love this video. I am wondering what pleased Negra the most. I love to see her with her lips puckered up–she is so dear.
The rice and bell peppers in rice tortillas earned many food squeaks from Negra.
Watching this just made my day! I LOVE you guys (and the chimps, of course!). BLESS YOU all!! :)
Great video! They sure had a good time. I LOVE Burrito’s little food dance. I think I have to watch it again. :D
It would be impossible to not smile while watching Burrito with a coconut.
this was so lovely Mr b was so proud of his coconut :-) loved Foxie choosing her trolls and then tossing poor Dora in the air
I love all the videos! Burrito is so funny, he loves food! I hope the chimps got the troll doll I sent a few weeks ago. Happy Valentine’s Day to all the chimps – they are loved indeed!
