Natalie's Birthday

Natalie turned a certain number for her birthday this year that we won't disclose. However, Dad decided to give her a present each day for 40 days. He had to start on September 21 in order to get all forty presents given by Mom's birthday by October 29, which is her actual birthday. After a lot of planning, he started with a note explaining the plan and a few rules. Mom was a good sport all the way through. Here are 40 pictures of her 40 presents:
