Gift #217- Papa
Papa and Jack
Papa and Sam.
The Day that Sam and Macy met their Papa.
Happy Birthday to Papa! We love you so much! I asked Sam what I should write about Papa and he said that I should say that he is "one cool cat". I don't know where he comes up with this stuff!
Happy Birthday to One Cool Cat! We hope that your day is as wonderful as you!

Gift #216- Christmas Packages
Most of our Christmas packages got a little held up in this year. In fact, there is still one floating around out there that was mailed on December 13th! But this hold up turned into such a blessing! Over the past 4 weeks, our Christmas packages from home have been showing up intermittently at our little post office. This has helped stretch our celebrating way into the New Year! Getting a package always brings so much joy. But what has brought even greater joy this year has been the amazing thoughtfulness that has been poured into each every box that we have opened! Tony Hawk t-shirts for skateboard-addicted kids. Panama City Marina and Life is Good T'shirts for adults who needed a little reminder of home. Beautiful old hankies and Valentines Day cards from my sweet grandma's house. A box FULL of beautifully- wrapped homemade treats and candies (even Turbo treats) that were lovingly made by little hands. An Amazon gift card to a girl who orders from Amazon almost every other day! An unfinished Christmas letter to her children that my mom began writing many years back. A beautiful necklace. A paper arm-sretched-hug from a sweet niece. The greatest bacon turner ever known to mankind! Chick-fil-A sauce! A favorite book from a childhood best friend. Nerds and candies, and silly putty, and whoopee cushions, and cold hard cash for kiddos who LOVE Nerds and candies and silly putty and whoopee cushions and cold hard cash! SEASON ONE OF DUCK DYNASTY on DVD! Happy Happy Happy! Every opened box has brought so much JOY! So many smiles. So many memories. So much gratitude for the family that God has given us. Blessed beyond measure is how we are feeling.
