Packages Galore!

Lately Anthony has hit the mother load when it comes to packages. Every package that is left on our doorstep gets this big smile and complete excitement in the anticipation of opening it and finding out what's inside.
Let me recap A's after-day-care-coming-home-to-mail delight:
Package #1: This package was sent all the way from Arizona and included his Halloween costume in it. Unfortunately, the outfit was a bit too small (although completely adorable!) and the fabric about put him over the edge. We were sad to see he wanted nothing to do with it. (Don't fear - keep reading!)
Package #2: The following package is the one in the picture. (Yes, I'm dorky enough to get rid of the addresses. Safety first!) Anthony's great aunt Gretch from Oregon does a wonderful job of remembering him and sending fun, unexpected and wonderfully thoughtful gifts even though she has yet to meet him. (Although we are hoping that will happen soon!) The last package included a book he loves and a whistle he cannot get enough of. That being said, he was really excited to open this one too. To his delight he found yummy marshmallows and a new puzzle.
Package #3: Because package #1 didn't work out the seamstress, thankfully, made Anthony another costume that is roomy enough and in a comfy, Anthony approved fabric. On Friday he opened his new costume and to the delight of Mark and I couldn't wait to try it on. He wore it around and was once again excited to go trick or treating with Ry and Cam next weekend. (Pictures will soon follow!)
Package #4: This one was delivered today during nap time and ended up being the most revered of all. Last weekend after our time up north we, unknowingly, left Anthony's blanket at my parent's house. He did fairly well, but then ended up getting sick throughout the week. Of course he woke up crying one night and all he wanted was his brown blankie that was three hours away. Luckily, Grandma and Papa Johnson came to the rescue and sent it express for a mere $16.30. THANK YOU!
