One more to round out the holiday season : )


As we opened the box, I chuckled to myself at the thought that Uncle Crunchy and Aunt Na were still mailing out their Christmas boxes. Historically, they always have their holiday gifts done before the holiday, and their cards arrive early. Hmmm, perhaps they too are coming over to the "late" side of life. As some of you have noticed, I have a more "elastic" view of the holiday time frame. So, imagine my surprise when their box arrived and the gifts were wrapped in holiday paper! I mean, it is almost Easter after all!
The girls enjoyed opening all the gifts and the Nutcracker pop up book for H is beautiful and amazing. She and I both love it. The clothes fit well and are adorable, and the kids were so happy to have a little mini-Christmas celebration.


Several days later I was chatting with one of my friends. She was lamenting that her mother had sent a box months ago, and it had just arrived. Hmmmm, I wonder if my deduction was false? I went home and dug out the emtpy box, and sure enough, it was mailed December 12th!

Thanks for thinking of us! The girls had a blast : )

Better late than never. What a wonderful surprise! Getting boxes is always a good thing. Can't wait to see the pop up book. Love to all. Nannio
Nannio told me to check out your blog and what to my wondering eyes did I see, our Christmas presents!! I never thought to ask if you received them (at Christmas time). So-so glad the girls liked their gifts. Easter gifts, one box, was mailed 3/12/08. Let me know when it arrives. I sure hope not 3 months from now.
Love, Auntie Na & Uncle Crunchy

The Christmas Book is really special--I enjoyed reading it with Haley at bedtime! I miss all of you already and have lots of warm fuzzy feelings from our visit! We had a great time! Will catch up on my blog reading and look forward to a video conference with you. Lots of Love, Mimi
