Yesterday a package arrived in the mail...to my surprise, the Christmas package my mom sent a few weeks ago! The box was full of about 25 small, wrapped presents for me, Trish, Jeff, and Victoria. Because I'll be in Hyderabad for Christmas, we decided to open one present a day (22 days of Christmas!). So the first day I pulled out some colored paper! ha! Silly, right? Wrong! It was exactly what we needed for our paper fire place (a tradition my roommates and I started in college at our apartment "Gangsta's Paradise"). When I told my sister how excited I was about the colored paper, she said, "Wow Meg, you're such a missionary." haha! I guess you learn to be more appreciative even for the small things.
They have at least 10 Texas ornaments...oh TX, you're too big for your own good
Trish decorating the tree!
Yes, this was the jolliest surprise! Thanks Fam!
Yes, I was so excited about this colored paper. duh.
Our tree and paper fireplace...every time I turn the corner and see these displays of joy, I just chuckle to myself, exploding with jolliness
the 2nd day of Christmas, my mommy gave to Victoria...a beaded necklace book
ps - we decided you have to wear this jolly Christmas scarf they included while opening presents
Ok, I kinda cheated on this one b/c it wasn't wrapped and I just couldn't wait to open them. They're my favorite pens...I mean, I need them for teaching, ok. ha.
Oh, my goodness. It got there so much quicker! Of course, we will celebrate big time in January. It will be so fun for you to open one a day. BIG HUG TO MY MEG-in-a BOX! Love you so much.

So glad you're enjoying the gifts from the Stephens and Hultmans. Wish we could have put more in the box - too bad shipping costs as much as the contents!
