Check out the frosting on these banana cupcakes. Super smooth and creamy, cream cheese buttercream … so delicious and creamy. Did I mention creamy? I also used a little added yellow to tint the otherwise cream colored creamy cream cheese frosting … you know, just to enhance the senses. I’m tricky like that.
Banana Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
Ingredients
Banana Cupcakes
Creamy Cream Cheese Frosting
Instructions
Party them up a little bit with small pastel colored confetti sprinkles … just because it’s that kind of day.
But, these banana cupcakes need something else… something to keep them company.
A little friend maybe?
Yes definitely.
But my little monkey needs a friend, too.
So this little piggy and teddy joined in on the fun.
And so did my favorite martian, robot and bumblebee.
My head is actually going to explode from all this cuteness.
Could these be any more adorable? Look at that bumblebee bottom.
Why yes, yes they can! These cupcake toppers are also candleholders. I’m officially in love here.
And it gets even better. They want to be your friends, too. Not these, they’re mine. All mine.
But these could be all yours.
When I bought these cutie pies from the Lollipop Workshop on etsy (also be cheery on flickr), I bought enough for two more sets. And I want two of you to have one. Well I want all of you to have them, but I only have two sets to give away. (Martian and Robot colors may vary from above.)
All you have to do to enter is give me some advice.
You see, Lollipop Workshop also sent me something else … A surprise … when she mailed the cupcake toppers.
I’m 10000000% certain it will be crazy cute!
It’s in this box and I haven’t opened it yet.
Why?
Because she also sent this box for my little helper. So sneaky and sweet of her.
So the question is…
Should I wait until my niece visits again so we can open them together?
Should I rip open mine now and show you what’s inside?
Should I open both of them? I could re-wrap ’em and no one would be the wiser.
But I do like surprises. Hmmmm… tortured by sweetness.
Okay, so you know I’m really gonna wait, right.
But, I’m just curious – what would you do?
- Leave your answer in the comment section below and you’ll be entered for a chance to win a set of assorted cupcake toppers from Lollipop Workshop.
- Make sure to leave a way for me to contact you if you win.
- Deadline to enter is Tuesday, August 18th at 5 p.m. TIME’S UP!
- Two winners* will be picked at random and announced sometime Tuesday evening on this post.
*Winners will be chosen using the random.org integer generator.
Good Luck!
And, here’s some more cuteness from Lollipop Workshop. Custom cake toppers, lollidolls and candleholders. The store sells out quickly when she adds new products, so just send her a message if you need a custom order.
Okay, Time’s up and here are the two winners
#1619 – Elle
#831 – The Pettit Family
Congrats! You’re getting some super cute cupcake toppers!
I love surprises, so I would say to wait until your niece gets there and you can open them together. I love surprises so much that I did not find out the sex of my babies until the day they were born. It is hard, but worth the wait. I think the anticipation of what could be inside is half the fun!!!!

Your niece would love it if it was a surprise for both of you!
I think you should wait and open them with your niece. Then you both will be surprised!!

I think you should wait until she arrives, then make sure that you tell her they were both for you, so that if she gets something awesome that you want you can keep it and give her yours instead : )
Since most people say to wait, I'll go with the opposite. Just to be different. I'd have an awfully hard time not opening such a cute package! Ok, fine…you should wait. I couldn't, in good conscience, encourage you to open it.
Open yours, open yours! As much to satiate my curiosity as yours.
Even though I should be nice and say wait, you should open at least one of them and wrap it back up! If you steam open the tape, none would be the wiser!
As the mother of 3, I know better than to open anything wrapped without the little ones around… lest they find out! My vote is to wait it out for your niece. Patience is a virtue, right? Plus it builds character… 'cause waiting stinks. Good luck! I look forward to seeing what's inside that incredibly cute wrapping!
I'd say that everything good is worth waiting for, and the torture of anticipated cuteness only makes it better! : )
Meg
Oh the dilema. I would want to rip them open and then rewrap them, but I think you should wait until your niece comes. monica@pld.com
Rip into that gorgeous paper! But just your own :) You can call your niece (my nieces always get excited when I call with fun stuff!), let her know that packages arrived, describe your opening it step by step on the phone with her complete with the excitement factor, and send her a pic of your present next to her wrapped box, letting her know some excitement is in store for her as well :)
I really think you should wait for your niece! :)
Open it up and show us….I am dying to know what is inside.
I hate surprises but I think you should wait…the anticipation will kill you but I am sure it will be worth it.
Wait! It's so much fun having something to look forward to!
hall_courtney99@hotmail.com
Just open it!!!:)

Wait (as hard as it is to do!) until the "Little Helper" joins you again and open them together!
Open them together! It'll make the surprise much more worth it if you wait! And it'll make her feel good too!
I would rip them right open…but I spoil surprises..
Wait for her to open it with you but make it a game, like whoever gets it open fastest or who can rip the paper the least and then winner can decide what to do with the prizes. Like if it's more cute product and your helper wins she can decide when you use it or what you use it with…something like that. That way she will get two prizes and you will get to see her twice as happy.
Aww I think you should wait it out… maybe hide them in a cupboard until then, so you're not tempted!
Wait, it will be worth it! Natalie
I think it will definitely be worth the wait. It will make the surprise that much greater! :)
camiuf at gmail dot com
i would also wait but only because i know how much little ones like to open stuff, even when what's inside isn't all that exciting!
You should definitely wait and open them together. What would I do? I'd have ripped that sucker open immediately!

I recommend waiting for your niece! Nothing would be sweeter than watching her excited face, knowing you waited to share the moment with her!
Wait for your niece! Tell her to come visit ASAP! Opening the presents together will make it more fun, meaningful, and exciting!
kellyabunn@gmail.com
I would wait and open both of themwhen your niece comes. Make sure you send pictures as it's happening!!
wait for your nieve! she will LOOOVOEEE it!
I would wait til your niece gets here to open it since that makes it even more exciting for you and her!
You have to wait for you neice! It would make her day if she knew you waited to share such a special surprise with her!!!!!
Contact me at: surely0shirley@gmail.com
Oh I would so want to open them, but instead I would place them right on my kitchen table and be tortured by them daily :)
So few great surprises in life these days. Save it for the opportunity to be surprised along with your little helper.
Oh, it would be easy to open them now, but to wait for your neice is a great idea. Take lots of pic. The Anticapation is killng me thou.
jsampson26@hotmail.com
You need to get your neice there ASAP! Yes, I think you should wait. But if your surprises are anywhere near as cute as those candle holders, it's gonna be tough!
-lesliebee(at)cox(dot)net
I should say wait, but I know that I wouldn't be able to! I love presents and it would drive me mad having it there! Good Luck!
sratchford@gmail.com
Waiting would be better. That way it can be a surprise for both of you. Take the time to share in a wonderful moment together it will be worth the wait. But be sure to share it with us after with great pictures.

This depends on when your niece will next come to visit. If it is within a week, then you should wait because it will be more fun to open them together. BUT if it won't be for a few weeks or, heaven forbid, months, then I say open yours……just to see. You can always rewrap it if you want to.
I would definitely wait but I would have to put them out of sight, or I would be overcome with curiousity.
If it was my husband, he would open it up. He does not have the ability to wait for presents and because of this he never has presents under the Christmas tree. But, thankfully I have more self control. So, if it were me I would wait to open it with my neice.

Those are killer adorable!
I'm gona have to say – SIT TIGHT!
You should wait for your niece and open the surprise gifts together! It'll be torture but soooo worth it!
OH MY…such cute things!! :) Personally, I would rip into mine right away. I can NEVER WAIT! :) However, if I had the patience, I would wait and open them together. Good luck :)
A good surprise is rare these days, so hold on as long as you can to open them together to enjoy the look of surprise on each other's faces!
I agree. You should wait for your cute little baking assistant to be there with you. She would love that. Then you can enjoy the fun wrapping for a bit longer. Plus, isn't the anticipation the best part?
edahl262@hotmail.com
As hard as it would be, I think you should wait for your neice. There's nothing like sharing in the excitement together!
jgregg6@utk.edu
I know I would have a very hard time waiting but that would be the best thing to do. Maybe open yours just to see a peek…no, no, no – gather your willpower and wait!
I think you should wait and open them together. Personally, the suspense would be killing me, but my niece would be thrilled that I waited for her to open them together.

I would repeat over and over "patience is a virtue, patience is a virtue" until I really believed it, and then I'd probably sneak a peak anyway, carefully peeling the tape so that no one would notice ;)
wait, just wait. it will be worth it :)
totally wait until your niece comes and that way you can share in the surprise together!
Staciele(at)netins(dot)net
wait and open together! two's a company (:
altheatsm@hotmail.com
I'd wait and all open them together, you'll all be so excited!:)
I'd wait and all open them together, you'll all be so excited!:)
If I wasn't sure it was going to be cute, I would open it to make sure she wasn't disappointed. Since you KNOW it'll be great, just wait and then enjoy together. :)
Those are sooo cute. I would make a batch of the cupcakes and have them ready to eat when your niece comes over – then open the boxes together, while enjoying a yummy treat.
As much as I hate suspense, I hate ruining surprises even more. Wait for you neice to visit again. Although, you could pull out all the stops to get her over this weekend, why wait too long?! :)
Well, I always opened my Christmas presents as a a child and then re-wrapped them so no one would know. I like to think that this helped develop some good acting skills. :) So, I think you should wait, but if the question is what would I do, then I would most certainly open them and then rewrap!
Jennie
It will be hard, but it will be worth it if you wait and open with your neice. Thanks for the giveaway!
It is awful but I can not stand not to know, I would open them and re-wrap
Definitely wait!
you should wait to open it with your niece. trust me, the look on her face when she opens it will be reason enough to wait for her to be there.

honestly, i would not be able to wait; but i'd let her open hers when she arrives.
I think you should wait, but invite your niece over ASAP! :D
jen@seejenbake.com
You should probably wait…though what if there's something perishable in there…?
kstainback@comcast.net
i would want to rip into them too…but you should wait for your niece she will love it!!!!
you always find the cutest stuff!!! and i wish that i had a cake/candy store like yours near me…i think i would go broke though!!!
thanks for the awesome giveaway!!!

ljred@verizon.net
i guess it depends when your niece is coming next to visit you! ;) i would wait for her to open them w/ you, because my daughter LOVES sharing surprises with me. and i think it's awfully sweet how you share your baking experiences with her!
Too cute! I'd try and wait. It will be worth it! Be sure to post what the surprise is in those nifty boxes.
logo0210@yahoo.com
I totally agree. As much as I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to resist the cute, go ahead and wait for your niece to visit.
Go grab her up this weekend if you have to! XD

memorysketch@gmail.com
i covet these!
There is no way I could wait to open it. My curiousity would get the best of me. Plus I'd want to see all of the cuteness. You could go ahead and be using what's inside that little box. :-)
So the kid in me says open it verrrry carefully, take a peek and then put it all back together and acted surprised when you open them together (something I did almost every Christmas when I was a kid, ok MAYBE I have done it a few times as an adult….. I just can't stand to WAIT!!!!)
Katie
stillik@hotmail.com
So Yummy!
If you can wait… I would wait! It would be so much more fun!
It would be exciting to see what is inside, but wait until your neice comes. It will make it more exciting.
rkhimes@verizon.net
Oh, this is a hard one. I would love to say wait till your niece arrives, but if it was me I would open them both and then rewrap them.
marwamb@yahoo.com
ok..ok..ok..I am the first who can't wait to open fun presents. But…put them up on a shelf to get them out of sight and tell your neice there is a surprise for her when she comes. That way she will help you remember about it when she comes. Then rip into both of together, it will be like Christmas for both of you. I am excited to see what's in the box.
kathy
kwright6158@msns.com
Yes, the sensible answer is to wait…. However, no one would know if you unwrapped them and wrapped them up again…. LOL
genb15_@hotmail.com
oh how sweet they are. I would wait so you can open it with your neice. The wrapping is so pretty, she'll enjoy it too. I might have to put them out of sight though so I wouldn't be tempted. I am intrigued; please tell us what is in there.
I would wait….maybe a day or two then curiosity would get the best of me and I'd peek but reseal the package.
monkeycakes1@bellsouth.net
Either way your little helper will enjoy the surprise. I say wait for her and build the anticipation. Good luck on your choice!
thats a tricky one! i would probably open it now, rewrap it and open it again with my neice! i'm so excited to try the banana cupcakes being that I just had one from Sprinkles…sooo yummy!! Thanks!! :) jmyoung28@cox.net
I think you should open yours and show us what's inside. leave the one for your niece for her to open.
Wait to open them with your niece. The suspense will be worth it and it will be so fun to open them at the same time!
Rip into yours! But don't let her see what it is until she gets there and opens hers.
Those cupcakes look soooo good!
I would open them up VERY carefully and then tape them shut. :)
Exactly how long is it that you'd have to wait for your little helper to come back??
The little devil on your shoulder is telling you to peek at yours . . . just sayin!
Oh, I would totally wait for your niece, I know it's hard, but she loves to help you out so much and it looks like she enjoys it, so it would mean alot to her if you waited!
Well, you are asking the wrong person. When my sister and I were in High School, we opened a Christmas present from my Aunt (she was only a few years older than us, and had fabulous taste)…we knew it would be clothing, and it was. We wore our new shirts to a party, and when we got home, we rewrapped them, and put them back under the tree. My mom found out last year (27 years later)…so I say open away, and rewrap. Have a lovely day. XXOO Valarie http://www.glitterydazeandnights.blogspot.com
wauvie @msn.com
You must wait. So your surprise will be a real as hers!
I say way to open them. Your excitement won't be quite the same if you don't. Love the little candle holders. Too cute! And love that they would be easy to clean up and use again.
I'd open it carefully to see, then re-wrap it!
I think it would be wonderful if you waited for your niece to open the packages with you. After all, she is your little helper and deserves the same rewards you do.
Wait! It'll be so much fun to open with your little helper – what a great time :)
Wait! Enjoy the exciting moment with your niece. There will be more giggles that way!
Tammy buddhabear@hottmail.com
Definitely wait.
Those toppers are so cute!
I would wait, but there would be great tempation to take a sneak peek, or shake it, or something. I also hope that her birthday wishes lolli doll is inside because those are adorable and I would want one so why shouldn't she give you one! Thanks for the giveaway.
emh_3@hotmail.com
I would wait for sure, but I would also do everything in my power to get her there ASAP!!!
Elizabelle@comcast.net
You really do like to Monkey around,even with your fans. I vote to open your box only. That way everyone gets twice the fun– once when your gift is opened and then again when your neice opens her gift :-)
If it were me I would go and get my niece as soon as possible and open them right there. I love suprises. I just can't wait for them, so I have to open them right away!! Good luck!
If it were me? Mine would already have been opened and re-wrapped. But you should probably wait :)
You have to wait! I used to be the one that had to open it, but I have 3 daughters, so I find it much more exciting to wait for them to open stuff!
I would open one of them up for yourself as a treat. But before doing so buy something special just for your neice and wrap it up super cute, so when she visits again you have a surprise for her too! Life is too short to wait.
Happy Opening

Wow! Tough decision! I would try to wait and put it out of sight so as not to obsess about it. But if you REALLY can't wait, open and rewrap – it will still be a surprise to her and you – just aqt different times :)
tear a little piece of every day. until you see your niece. hahaha. =]
actonesceneone@sbcglobal.net
Wait until your nice comes and THEN rip them open. :)

Seeing your niece's face is worth the wait — so wait! She'll enjoy the "party" and I bet you will too! And oh gosh I love that monkey's grin because he's so clearly been up to something!
You should wait but how hard is that. Look how cute that wrapping is, so you know something good is inside!
I would say wait so your niece feels how special she is – but it would drive me personally CRAZY! and i would want to rip them open right now – but that makes the moment even more special :)
Have fun no matter what you do.
I'd say wait, but only because they are wrapped up like eye-candy. She is going to LOVE opening that! Can she come play today???
Open it up. Squee over cuteness. Wrap it back up. Wait for helper. Pretend to be surprised. Squee with cuteness one more time for good measure.
Definitely wait for your niece! It will be worth it to see her face light up as you open them!
so tempting.. the wrapping itself makes it so irresistable.. but i would definitely WAIT to experience the SURPRISE! together.
jannanasplit@gmail.com
As tempted as I would be to rip them open, I think you should wait till she arrives!
wait for it!
bethbyington at yahoo dot com
Wait…but let ME peek for you :D!
I know it's hard, but wait until your neice gets there. A double surprise will be much better than two singles! Oh, I HOPE I WIN!
It would be hard but I would wait for your neice! Let the excitment build!!
I would suggest to wait for your niece.
masmoral@hotmail.com
It would be hard but I would wait to open with your neice. Let the excitment build!!
open BOTH of them!!
Those are the most adorable candle holders EVER!!
I would wait and open the gifts together. But I would have to hide them so I wasn't looking at them all day. Otherwise I might just rip into them!!
WAIT!!! She will truly feel like your little helper and a part of what you do if you share in these experiences too!!
Open yours and then have your neice open hers when she comes. Then you will have two suprises! Have a great day!!! Thanks for all the fun!!! Rachel
I would have to vote for waiting. As hard as it is, it is worth it!
jhermann@aol.com
Oh, that's an easy decision! …but this is coming from the person who totally pre-opened all her Christmas presents 2 years in a row. To this day no one knows ;)
I'm evil…open 'em both up then rewrap! :D
~Leah
Not that I ever win anything, but you can shoot me an email:

I would have ripped it open before I even had a chance to take a picture of it. But that's just me.
I would wait
oooh, wait til your niece comes and be surprised together!! I'm one of those very few people that DIDN'T find out the sex of either of my 2 kids. yep, waited til the day they were delivered!! I love surprises, can you tell??
Well, I love surprises so I would have to wait.
I know it would kill me….but wait for your little helper!! Such cute wrapping paper!
The cupcakes look super yummy!
bran_holt@yahoo.com
I would definitely wait! She'll be so surprised!
Oh, I would have to open them immediately. I have to buy my kids presents at the last minute to resist giving them early!
nfanella@yahoo.com
Oh, you MUST WAIT and open them together.
It'll be like having a lottery ticket in your pocket before the big drawing…
You know how you feel when you think you, "might" be a winner? You spend the winnings in your head right up until the moment the drawing begins.
I think the anticipation is almost as much fun as what you might actually find in the boxes!
Don't ruin it by peeking before your helper arrives! But if you do, you must re-wrap the boxes… :o)
I think it depends on how long it's going to be until you see your niece again. If it's going to be like, months, I would just open yours now and hold hers for her. If it's not going to be very long, open them together. It's like waiting for Christmas morning! :)
I think you should wait till your neice comes. She would feel special and it would be much more fun to open them together.
burba94@hotmail.com
I think you should wait to open the gift with your lovely niece. You should both sit down, count to three and then tear into the boxes at the same time! :)
~Lacey Evans
shoelace4ever@yahoo.com
Oooh, tough decision! I would open yours first and then give your niece hers when she arrives so you can see HER excitement at opening it without being distracted by your own… That way you get that super-awesome-joyous feeling of surprise all at the same time!
I'd open it to see what's inside. But then, I never could wait. i love surprises!
I think you should wait. You can share the excitement together. It's like Christmas!
Those are too cute! You should definitely wait until your niece goes over. Genuine surprise is hard to beat :)
Oh, my gosh…so tempting! It's like Christmas! I would say wait…even though the anticipation will be a killer…it will be much sweeter with your niece! What fun! Something really great to look forward to!
rachel_demille@yahoo.com
Open yours right now! :)
Oh my…tough decision! As much as it would kill me to wait, I'd wait for your niece. Although you'll be bursting with anticipation, she'll be just as excited!
esalathe@hotmail.com
It would depend on how long until my (your) niece was coming to visit. It would be more special to wait, but I'm not sure I could wait TOO long!
Open yours on Skype with your niece—then show her the wrapped package for her. Then she'll be over very soon!!
acurlytops@embarqmail.com
Honestly? I'd insist I would wait, then pick incessantly at the tape and the edges, hoping to magically develop telescopic vision to see inside through the light-less, half millimeter opening. I would hope beyond hope that it wouldn't get so bad that the paper would "accidentally" rip.
Honestly.

wait and open it together. kids have the greatest reactions.
Since I am not a snooper, I would definitely wait to open them at the same time…even though it would be soooo hard!
I think you should call an emergency meeting and open them together!
The right thing for me to say is wait for your niece to come over and do it together. But I would open both of them and re-wrap them up. At least that is what I've done with Christmas presents ;-)
kelly heet at aol dot com
If I were you, I would totally want to rip them both open too. I'd say just wait, only because if you open yours, you'll probably want to open your neice's as well. It will be more fun to open them together.
arielles@live.ca
I simply cannot leave a perfectly wrapped package unopened! But I have confidence that you have more self-control than I do. :) Plus, what a fun moment to share with your cutie-helper! Have fun and post pictures!!

I sy you wait to open them both with your niece.
You should wait!! You know good things come to those who wait…

WAIT! I hate not knowing as well, but what fun it will be when you both get to 'discover' the contents together! :D
bennie_cb {at} yahoo {dot} com
I would say OPEN them. But it seems like you have a great bond with your little helper. So wait for her. It will be great to share it with her wonderful AUNTIE..lol
I can not wait to see what is in side those BOXS…
I would LOVE for you to rip right into them, but I think waiting so you can all open them together would be better. Just one question: how LONG is the wait going to be?!? I'm dying to know what's inside :)
With joy,

definitely wait untill she comes and open them together- won't you feel so good about yourself?
You should totally wait! The anticipation might kill you, but it will be great to tear into them together!
Wait for your niece to come! :)

The nice thing: wait. What I would really do: Open it as fast as I could which would probably induce a papercut but that would be ok. I mean, who knows when you will see her again!
Open them together and take lots of pics of yalls faces!
I think you need to wait on your niece….that will make it so much more fun!!!
kleonard@childressisd.net
You should open together!!
I'd love to have a set of these! They're too cute! – deeholmes@hotmail.com
wait until she visits! I'm sure your niece would love to open her gift while you're opening yours.
As adults, we only receive few surprises…the joy of watching your niece open her little gift will give you that same excitement. And guess what…when you open that gift with her, it will be worth the WAIT!:) The anticipation is what's fun.
eatfire2@sbcglobal.net
AACCCKKK!!! They are so cute I would be possessed by the insatiable desire to open them with the full knowledge that I was bad and wrong to do it. (hey, how can I plan the perfect baking project if I don't know what it is???)If I was really determined to be good I would hide them in a plain box and put them away in an annoyingly difficult or undesirable place (the laundry room comes to mind… I have way too much laundry and I am in avoidance mode) and try my very best to forget about them until the adorable little one arrives.
Oooo, the gifts are so pretty, I would hate to rush to open them. Just enjoy the packaging for awhile… then maybe take the lollipop for a couple licks… then put it back in to enjoy the look of the whole package again…
Definitely wait for your niece. Seeing her surprise will be better than your surprise at opening the boxes.
salan656@yahoo.com
it would depend on when your neice is coming over, a day or two? i would wait, but a week or more, i'm afraid i would break in to that delicious wrapping…
Please wait and open them with your niece – I know the suspense is a killer, but seeing her face as she opens hers with you for the first time will make it all worth it! Laura – brianandlauraevans@gmail.com
Okay, so everyone else is saying "wait", so I am going to go against the tide and say, "Rip into yours!" Either that, or jump in the car and drive your neice's gift over to her, so that you can open them together. The suspense is killing me.
You can contact me through my blog at http://www.northofhte49.com

Oh, you should wait until your niece visits again. That will be more fun!
rubletx@verizon.net
What I would do is carefully unwrap one end and peek on my own… and then put it back the way I found it, and act all suprised when we did the opening together!! Because patience really isn't my strong point! :)
I hate to admit it … but I would want to open it up and see the cuteness – the re-wrap it!!!
I suggest that you should wait until your niece comes. It would be so much more fun.
Love the candle holders.
csteed@fuse.net
please open it now and show us!
me, please!
i think you should definitely wait until you and your niece can tear into them together. enjoying that moment together will be special!!!
The waiting is the hardest part (according to Tom Petty) but I think I'd wait – it'll be FUN!
i would open mine but leave hers wrapped, then when she gets there rewrap mine so she thinks both are a surprise (but only hers would be). i love surprises, and that way there would be two, not just one.

Cuuuute!
You should wait for your niece. The surprise will be double! Much precious time is shared when both are surprise =) ….Beautiful package must have so wonderful things in it!
I think I would peel back a corner and peek….then put it back and then head straight over to visit the niece! The anticipation would drive me crazy! Of course if there were others around, I would probably do the right thing and just wait as patiently as possible!
i think you should wait for your sweet little helper.
RIP IT OPEN!!!!!! DO IT NOW!!!
You have to wait!

As much as I would be sooo tempted to rip right into those ~ I would wait. The expression on both of your faces will be priceless!!! Enjoy :)
open yours now. You'll enjoy watching your neice open hers.
I would definitely take a little peek inside! Maybe open up just one corner? I can never resist cute presents like those!
You should SO wait until she gets there. It would be so much sweeter for you two to open together and be truly surprised!
How long until your niece comes? As much as I would be completely overcome with the cuteness I would really try to restrain myself and wait. Not only would it be so exciting for her, but you'd get to live that excitement too by watching her.
I think you should wait for the little helper!! Although its going to be torture! Make sure you let us know what's in them!
