BRYSONS!!!
You guys are too good to us. I didn't realize how much I missed nuts. The Star Wars fruit snacks didn't last very long....Can't wait to have velveta noodles and brownies (oh my God!). You got Lucas some great dread wax. This is one of my favorite boxes yet!

We would just like to give a huge thanks to the Scharmer family for sending us the biggest package yet. Katie had to bring it the entire 60K from the post office by herself. Any time she was walking she said she carried it on her head, traditional Botswana style. She then had to wait until I got home from a workshop before we could open it. What a surprise to see all that stuff. The bulk of the box was tons of play toys from Miranda to use with the kids here. A daycare was just opened a stones throw from our house so we donated them there and go an play with the kids as often as we can. They loved getting the toys and we loved giving them. Miranda, they will be played with heavily, thanks. Everything else was for us two!! Thanks for the power converter, contact solution, carabineers, 3M hooks, juice mixes, the level, and the match box cars. A special thanks to Jedidiah’s family for the exercise bands, hot coco w/marsh mellows and coffee...3rd Phase of P90x! Katie loved all the stationary and adored Grandma Scharmers jewelry, especially the blue and silver set. The candles smell wonderful too. We love you guys and can’t thank you enough.
We also got an ‘Easter in a Box’ package from the Ross family. They sent us some great meal planning stuff. We will again eat like true Americans. The whisk works 10X better than that fork we’ve been using and we now have seasonings for the ground beef we buy. (any kind of ground beef seasoning is always useful...taco, enchilada, etc.) The candy brought us both back to when we were little opening Eater baskets. The chocolate didn’t survive very long in our house.
San Dee and Grandpa Scharmer sent us a fantastic package full of goodies. Candy….yum, tampons, eye liner, contact solution, deodorant, toothbrushes, body products, ramin and some pictures. Katie wants anyone reading to know that with the last box she should be set on tampons for now. I want to say the pictures were my favorite because we don't much get to see faces while were over here. It’s nice to see familiar smiles.
The Trebesch family sent us a cute little envelope with some goodies, pictures and art work from Charlotte. So sweet, thank you.
The Kimble Ross family also sent us a package. The picture really doesn’t do it justice; we ate a lot of the candy before this picture took place. Anyway, we got a beautiful Christmas card, some GREAT magazines, some Stuffed Pig game =) and lots and lots of candy. Thank you guys so much for thinking of us! We love you!
Tim and Miriam from Seattle sent us a box full of great gifts: lots of books, chocolate (OMG), great seasoning packets, some fun powder mixes, Bananagrams (this will be great for teaching English vocab to my students; and we like to play too), and a Burt’s Bees Wax beauty kit! Your gifts were so unique and so helpful. It was great to hear from you too. So sad we won’t be at family reunion but hope to see when we get back (June 2011).

Rosses hooked you up for Easter. Katie, you are so tan I'm so jealous. I see Lucas's tiva tan too. Too bad my box didn't make the pick :( The kids' toys were a great idea. Did you ever use the pencil sharpeners and erasers we sent you? Was it too few for the students?
ReplyDeletekate good job on all the projects. remember not every play is a touchdown. some time small gains are just as important. other thing may have been effected even though the funds came up short. love dad
