Today we got two packages, yahoo! We got the package from Uncle Jon and Aunt Maria, and also included in that package were gifts from Grandma Stamp. We also were thankful to receive a package from one of my homeschool friends back in Colorado, June.
We are so grateful for you all, our friends and family, that take the time and energy and resources to bless us with things that remind us of home. Things like books and movies that we can't find here, chocolate and scented candles that fill simple cravings that we can get here from time to time, and lots of neat toys and games that I think I'm going to use as "incentives" for school and good behavior (thanks June ;), I loved all the things you sent.)
Here's just a few pictures from opening the package from Uncle Jon and Aunt Maria. I was able to open June's package by myself and so the chocolate is all MINE (ha, ha, ha)!!!!
We love sticker books, they are great for Sissi to work on when I'm doing things with the boys during school. June, the coloring posters you sent will be awesome too, can't wait until she sees those, she'll LOVE them!
Oh YES! My Lego boy was in heaven over this book!
My avid reader, more books to fill his ever searching mind! For his birthday, we're getting him his own Kindle. He uses mine everyday for school, now that he's moved to Upper Grammar in Tapestry and many of the books are available that way. Plus we downloaded many Hentys, Ballantynes, Lamplighters, etc.... before we left the States. Should make gifts for him easier in the future...Amazon gift cards ;)!
My very own Princess. She loved the paper dolls, another project we can do during school time, and her 4th Barbie movie. It's on the screen, being viewed, as we write! She is dancing up a storm too, and just asked if when she's older she can perform in the "stage show" for this and the Nutcracker (she also has Barbie Nutcracker and Swan Lake.) Can't wait to get this girl some more dance lessons!
