A few years ago Eric and I decided to give the kids at least one “experience” gift each Christmas from us (separate from Santa’s gifts). These gifts have turned out to be our favorite of all ~

[{"selector":"#anim-49b4a2cf-002e-4148-b41a-c6b809517437","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(0.05)","scale(1)"]},"delay":101,"direction":"normal","duration":1401,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-04e5dc4e-749e-4a96-b876-b2a9008e6b87","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, 100px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"direction":"normal","duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.77, 0, 0.175, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6d00d9d0-dfc3-4533-ac91-2fd43c3066d9","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":700,"direction":"normal","duration":600,"easing":"linear","fill":"both"}]
