Package from Grannie and Papa New!

Mackenzie and Josiah received a big Easter package from Grannie and Papa New today. They love getting packages and seeing what is inside! The two of them wasted no time opening it and inspecting each item mailed to them.
Mackenzie loved the Easter Eggs filled with jelly beans and cheese crackers. She also loved her two new stuffed animals; they are sleeping in bed with her tonight in place of the usual ones! She is looking forward to learning to play two new card games tomorrow after she comes home from school. She has already colored in her new Strawberry Shortcake coloring book. She will enjoy her new clothes and other toys, too!
Josiah gave his stuffed animal a hug, and then set it aside in order to find the "candy." He dug in his Easter bucket until he found what he was looking for: a bag of cookies! He sat and ate a few, then followed Mackenzie's lead and opened Easter Eggs to find the goodies inside! He ate a ton of jelly beans and cheese crackers, too. :)
As you can see, a package at our house does not make it very far inside the front door! It was obviously a large package and it "exploded" fast in our house! Josiah really enjoyed the stackable nesting boxes from my Great Aunt Treva. A great big "THANK YOU" to my Grannie and Papa New for the wonderfully fun surprise Easter package!!! We love you.

I just have to post and say how amazing it is that your kids look so much like each of you! Don't ask how I found your blog! I probably couldn't find it again if I tried! Tell David hello!

By the way, I love Mackenzie's "tootsie roll" shirt! So cute!

Thanks for commenting on my blog so that I could find yours. Your 2 are just so adorable. I love the pics you post. It is good to know how they are growing (way too fast) and the family is doing.
Hugs, Pat
