They're here!







Princess's SmartPaks are here!  And yes, I'm sad that they say "Princess Rive".  I'll have to call and ask if they can either take out the space so it's "PrincessRiver" or just do "Princess Riv".  Obviously taking "Princess" out isn't an option.  Obviously.

And it turns out SmartPak has quite a sense of humor.  Or rather, a sense of irony.
