She was DELIGHTED to find a package of her very own waiting in the mailbox!
A good friend from church made G a doll baby blanket with a matching hair bow. Though she could have easily given it to us at church, she suspected that G might enjoy receiving the package in the mail. Boy was she was right! :)
Truth be told this baby doll blanket encouraged me at least as much as it did G! When we opened this package on Valentine's eve. I was UP TO MY EYEBALLS in our nutty DIY project. Our house was turned upside down and inside out - literally. I'd spent the entire day painting and was nowhere near being done in time for the flooring guy to start on time in a few short days. J was out of town on work for the week. I'd just realized that C needed a Valentine's mailbox for school the next day and I was fresh out of shoe boxes!
Overall, there was a definite lack of Valentine Spirit in our house and the Mommy-Guilt was running high! Then enters this package that my sweet friend made and went to the trouble to mail. (Am I the only one who HATES setting foot in the post office?!? Talk about thoughtful! :) Those pictures above, they weren't manufactured, G was really THAT excited! We both felt loved on!
C wasn't left out - another very dear friend offered to drive over a shoe box once she learned of my mailbox dilemma. She showed up minutes later with shoe box and Valentine's cookies in hand. SWEET...doesn't get any better than cookies delivered to your door, does it?!?
We spent the rest of the evening wrapping and decorating C's mailbox. It was a good night! :)
