My favorite picture of all! Aunt *R* sent this adorable hooded towel for Mary along with a stuffed lion and shirt.
I have a Great Aunt who I adore, even though it's from a distance. She has been a constant in my life since she and my Great Uncle and her mother, my Great-Grandmother, flew out to Los Angeles for my ordination/commissioning and wedding over 12 years ago. But even before that, my mom would share such good memories of her. I was also able to meet up with her again last year when I attended a conference in Nashville. She sends cards and packages of goodies all the time it seems like! We got another in the mail today, and I decided to capture the moment on camera so that she can see how much we appreciate it. I sure do wish I could know her better! She is a fabulous christian woman who goes out of her way to reach out to her family.
It took some effort to get the package open. The longer it took... the more the anticipation.
The boys got pillows, books, hats and mittens. They loved it all!
The girls got a ton of dress up jewelery. They wore straight until bedtime.

A couple of the necklaces my Great Grandmother made. I told the girls, these are not for dress-up.
I'll be keeping these with my things until they are much older.
Things like this are precious to me.
Other goodies too. Paul especially enjoyed a good book and some M&Ms. (his faaaavvvorite)
