Yes, Another Easter Package!

Josiah attempting to open an Easter package from Papa and Lili, my dad and Lisa. Yes, those are real scissors he is using! I was supervising. :) Mackenzie was successful in her attempt to open the package!
Josiah is very proud of his Bob the Builder DVD from Papa and Lili! (Notice he is still eating Easter candy.)
Mackenzie was delighted with all 3 new DVD's they sent!
A great big thank you to Papa and Lili for the package! Yes, it is true. My kids are very spoiled by all their grandparents and great grandparents and uncles, too! We are truly blessed. What an Easter, and the Easter Bunny has not even come yet!!! I'll try to post some Easter pictures tomorrow, too. Thanks, everyone!!

Another Easter Package!

Mackenzie was very proud of her Easter basket full of candy from Uncle Zac!
Josiah was also very proud of his Easter candy from Uncle Zac. He promptly opened every single piece that he was able to open by himself and ate them!!! Too funny. Thanks, Uncle Zac, for a very fun Easter package!

Easter Dresses!

Mackenzie was so intent on the puzzle that I could not get her to look up for the picture. She loves puzzles these days. The dress she is wearing in the picture is one of several that Mommom, Mark's mother, sent in a package with 3+ sets of clothes for each child. We are enjoying the new clothes. Thanks, Mommom! Mackenzie wore the blue smocked dress for portraits this week; she will also wear it for Easter tomorrow.

Easter Package!

The following pictures are of Mackenzie and Josiah opening an Easter package from Nona and Mzee (my mom and Mark). Josiah loved the candy, and Mackenzie was most interested in the felt puppets, which you have to construct. She is just a little to young to sew them herself, so I got to do the work. Thanks, Mom! Really, you can just buy ready-made puppets next time!

Seriously, we really do appreciate the package. The kids had a blast and are still enjoying the construction paper and crayola paint pens. Thanks for thinking of us!

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.
