Happy Tuesday

Heidi got hold of the camera yesterday...Here's Addie in her bathrobe with a cold
Here's our side deck with snow
Here's Addie wearing the groovy hat (upside down) Laura bought for me years ago!
God must have known we needed some cheering up after the weekend's sickies, because we got lots of love yesterday:
1. a delicious dinner from Debbie--asparagus-barley chicken soup, wheat rolls, and ice cream sandwiches
2. a package of stickers from great-grandma
3. a package from Nana to congratulate Heidi on being potty-trained
4. a late Christmas package from Peter & Zuzana in Slovakia
What fun!

Here's Heidi with her "elephant baby" from Nana--all the kids loved their treats, Nana! THANKS! (Jill asked about elephant baby...s/he has an elephant embroidered on her jammies! Maybe Heidi will play with her because for about a year she hasn't liked babies)

The box from Peter & Zuzy
Heidi is so excited!
Here are all the gifts that were inside of the box

The kids got chocolates, kinder eggs (our favorite!) , and the girls got tiny color pencils
Addie eating her kinder egg
I got beautiful doilies, Rich got a Slovak calendar, and we got these lovely salt-dough ornaments that were labeled, "For Decoration, not for eat."

James also got an adorable Santa Train but we didn't get a photo of him with it...he kept saying, "Tanta! Tanta"--he knows Santa!

Peter and Zuzana, thank you for thinking of us! We love our exotic treasures! It was so nice of you to send a package so far away!

Grandma, Nana, and Debbie, thank you, too! You brightened our day and lightened our load!

I love that silly hat from Lollie! That this IS old!

How nice for you to get such cool mail! What's up with the "elephant Baby"? Isn't it just a baby?

Peter and Zuzi are so awesome. Lucky ducks!

I love that James says Tanta too! I just want to squeeze him!

I'm SOOOOOOOOOOOo jealous of the Surprise Eggs. They are the coolest invention, adn why they don't market them in the US is beyond me. The chocolate alone is pretty darned good (nice and creamy), but "suspense" and the "surprise" at the end are perfect for kids. Again, I ask, why aren't the marketing geniuses in America taking advantage of this opportunity?
