For Christmas the boys got the coolest gift from Harmony and Chad's family (their aunt/uncle and cousins). They recieved a little jar that contained 5 tiny little caterpillars (unfortunately I didn't get a picture). Anyway, the concept is to watch the caterpillars grow, then cocoon, and then eventually turn into butterflies. Of the 5 caterpillars we were able to successfully see 4 of them cocoon and come out of their cocoons as butterflies. After we kept them in their butterfly habitat for a while to feed them and watch them grow, we let them go. It was a neat experience and the boys loved being able to see them grow and change so much through the whole process. 
Here is Glen Allen trying to get them to come out of their butterfly habitat.
Both boys had the opportunity to hold one before they flew away.
Isn't it beautiful? It's amazing how they go from ugly little caterpillars to this!
