A couple weeks ago, my dad sent a big box of goodies to the kids. They gave us permission to go ahead and open the box up and unwrap all the gifts. Soooo...we called them up and had the kids open up all the gifts while they listened over the phone from Tennessee. The kids were so ecstatic. They got so many cute things. I told my dad I should have just waited until Christmas to open them, it would have saved us money...er...I mean time, lol ;-) I really just wrote this blog to let my dad and Cindy know how much it was appreciated and how happy they made the kids. I know how hard it is being so far away from family for such a lengthy period of time, but it is times like this that the kids remember, and not just about the gifts, but about the time they spent listening to them open the gifts over the phone and then talking about them together when they were done. That was really special. Thank you and we LOVE you!
If you have family in the same state, don't take it for granted. Cherish those crazy holidays running all over the place, the unexpected drop-ins, and the insistence that you guys have to do EVERYTHING together, because you never know how much you will miss the "annoying" things until they are no longer there.
Here's some pics of their new stuff!
