Big Blessings in a Small Package

This is a package our mailman delivered today! What fun. It was not a very big box, but it was packed FULL of fun for ALL of us! The second picture gives perspective to the size. That is an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper wishing us all a Happy Birthday in 2008! The box was only about 3 or maybe 4 inches deep, and when we opened it, it looked sort of like the third picture! But when we started pulling things out, it was like a magician's hat... things just kept coming and coming and coming!

Below is a picture of the three oldest kids posing with all our goodies! Wesley was already in bed for nap, & Dano was at work! They'll get to enjoy the surprise later!



(Emma isn't that short... she's leaning over on her sister.)

The three pictured enjoyed it so much! They were so excited! Me too! I almost cried (you know me)! I had a bag of Dove dark chocolate (you know it is good for you... antioxidants) and a Christian novel I've been wanting to read! Dano got some Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and some trail mix! We all got some of our favorite fruit leathers to share! The kids got lots of fun art supplies and some other special treats!

Thank you Ondrea (and family) for making our day so special! You are such a great encourager!! Thank you for blessing us more than we ever deserve!! We love you & miss you!!

You'll have to check back later for something else that has made today really special!

Blessings,
