These Are a Few of JEN'S favorite things!

Thank You Jen! I just got this box of goodies from Jen (private blog) via my sister's Favorite Thing's Swap!

You can tell Jen is a mother, because she put a blingy play cell phone right on the top of the box. Reese knew immediately that it must be for her.

Jen, you sent me great stuff!!! Just look at that giant box! Both R & Q could fit in it (and did, once the presents were out). The contents? Let's take a lookie:

First and foremost: chocolate, chocolate, and more chocolate. Enough to keep me, AND 5 of my gal pals happy at our girls night out movie tonight! (yes, I shamefully admit that I purchased tickets to see Twilight)

next up: magazines! This is something that I rarely purchase for myself, but really enjoy, so thank you!

Can you imagine the excitement on Reese's face when she saw a disney princess tin peeking through the foam peanuts? I thought she was going to have a heart attack. Really. I can't wait to open it up and share some Mom and Me time while Quincy takes her nap this afternoon. It is FULL of disney books, stickers, pens, a cd, and enough girly girl activities to keep her on her best behavior for a year. (yes. I bribe. and most of the time, it works.) Thank you so much, you are so thoughtful!

Is that a Handy Manny Toolset? Why YES, I think it is! I'm not sure who was more excited about this one, the kids, or me! Reese has already "fixed" her red table and the patio screen with the hammer. I can't wait to get her her first toolbelt. How cute is that little saw? I can't wait to play with it more.

Jen, this was supposed to be YOUR favorite things! How happy was I to find a FABULOUS gift card to QUIZNOS (seriously. Holy Cow. YOU are awesome. AND an incredibly thoughtful gift giver!) inside the cute black and white damask bag? (It will make the perfect diaper bag when Baby #3 arrives...who is going to be a HUGE after all the Sonoma Turkey Flatbread Sammy's I'll be eating! Gold Shooting Stars to you, Jen.

Did you know I only quit biting my nails 2 years ago? I gotta tell you, as much as I love not having ugly, chewed up fingers....nail maintenence is a pain! No wonder I bit them so much, my nails grow incredibly fast! Thank you for the nail kit, I'll take it as a hit to do something about my naked, unfiled, nails that are currently all different lengths.

I'll make Aaron some yummy cocoa to sip from the BYU mug, while he cheers for the Cougars as they kick Utah's trash.

I can't wait to try the bath products, or the scrubbie (although Quincy has claimed that...she calls it a "bunny") I have been needing to replace my current scrubbie, but haven't yet due to laziness, so thanks!

I just realized the mini album didn't show up in the picture, but I love it, AND I love the color. thanks!

PS-I'm not sharing the Dove chocolate with anyone but the muffin top.

Throw in the girly notepad and the Disney Princess puzzle and I have a very happy little princess of my own. I think I'll put her to work on it while I vacuume up this:

But wait! There's more...

and more...

Thank You so much. You made my day! I'm glad you enjoyed the goodies I sent to you! This was really fun...Thanks HolleeAnn for hosting the swap, you are so creative to think of something like this that would spread so much cheer! Just look at how happy those little girls are, rolling in the "snow". Yes I know it's 33 degrees outside and Reese has no shoes on. She did at one point. I think they came off in the excitement. As you can see from the previous picture, she eventually stripped down to her nightgown again because the warm clothes were getting in the way of her "Snow Princess" dancing fun. Quincy got to be the "snow doggie, but a girl doggie". Probably because she kept eating all the "snow".
