Good Mail from Auntie!

We got a package in the mail from my sister, HolleeAnn and brother in law Paul.
Holy Moly.
It is the package of all packages.
Look at that excitement:

It was like one of Oprahs Favorite Things Giveaway episodes. I pulled away the tissue and revealed the contents of the (huge) box) And Quincy's head actually blew off her neck with excitement.

Presents. Presents galore!
Seriously, ga-LORE. Something for everyone! I love me some Halloween decorations!
Glow in the dark trick or treating wands

skull bubble necklaces

halloween dinner plates (cafeteria style-with the cute little compartments for each food-love it!)

halloween bowls

halloween forks and spoons

trick or treat bags (that are hillarious, the monster one for Corbin kills me)

skull fruity snacks with light tweezers to pick them up with (can't wait to reuse the tweezers in preschool!)

a gummy candy stick--this is what truly amazes me about my sister. She totally could have put together a package full of sugary sweets and my kids would have loved it...for 5 minutes. The fact that these and the fruit snacks were the ONLY junk food in the entire package is proof of how thoughtful she is. I do love candy, but I love it even more that she sent a package with fun that would last and last.

Batty heatbands and halloween ribbon headbands

halloween socks! (I will shamefully admit that these have been worn a bit too often already...let's just pretend I do a LOT of laundry, ok? ok.)

should I go on? but wait! there's more...

(I am SURE I am forgetting stuff, there was so much!)

glittery halloween window stickers

halloween kleenex

a light up ghost decoration (LOVE!)

metal dogtag ornaments for our Halloween tree with vintage halloween graphics on them (my fave.)

spider kitchen dishtowels (my other fave)

halloween stamps
A glittery cat head bunting. (I hate cats, but I LOVE this. maybe because they are supposed to be dead.)

spooky skull and spider necklaces that light up
and my (other other) fave, a really cute Roxy shirt that I bought for my cute niece Jordan a few years ago. I loved it so much that I almost bought one for myself. Then, my other cute niece, Taylor got one, too, and when I was reminded of how cute it was I almost bought it again, but didn't.
J's closet was purged awhile ago to make room for new wares, and rather than consign the shirt with the other clothes, HolleeAnn mailed it to me. It's really cute, it fits perfectly, and I love love love that it was recycled back to me! Thanks, sistah!

Thanks for the fun package. Opening present after present that were all selected just for us with love and for no reason other than to bring us happiness filled me with joy and gratitude.

I have such a great family. Even though we live far away from everyone, they make time to show interest in my children. They call and talk to them, to hang pictures of them in their homes, skype, send cards, letters, and emails asking about soccer, talks they gave in church, parties, school, music, and everything else.
They tell my children they love them.
They show my children they love them.

We are so blessed to be recipients of this great love.
Look how happy it makes us!

Happy.
Thanks, Auntie!
