Wow Brooke, I am trying to get caught up on some of our friends and all I can say is AMAZING! What an incredible start to your Big Give Experience, that is simply amazing all that has come your way and your thankfulness/excitement/delight in it all shines through. I am SO excited for you!!!

This whole experience has been more that expected...it'll be a great time to remember...!

Well we are having snow today! 4-6 inches...! although this time of year means it won't stay for too long! But our mail comes in the late morning and I thought....the Big Give has started what if there is a Big Give out there next to the mail box in the snow ...our mailbox is out on a gravel road near our house... and so I figured I had better get out in that snow and check... it wouldn't do to leave anything to get wet in the snow! So I put on my jacket and cowgirl boots and trudged through the wet snow to see... is there something out there?

I got to the edge of our lane where I could see down the road to the mailbox...and there in the snow are two Big Gives! So I brought them in and wiped them off and now I have to wait for the boys to get home from school... But in the meantime I thought I would share some photos of the boxes...


Mickey Mail from the Potters - since we haven't opened it yet, I am not sure of their DisName! That info will come!

And a beautifully decorated box from Balletmom

Now to find out what has been gifted to Kaleb and family! We will have to wait until 4:30 central time!

Thank you!

Well, what a great day to receive gifts...snow is piling up and it's cold! Along with the Big Give boxes there was a postcard from the WWoHP! So until we can open the boxes we have a great postcard to enjoy! Here are a few photos!

More Big Gives! You'll be filling up those luggage soon with all the great Big Gives coming your way! Can't wait for the boys to get home to see what they got!

I also wanted to let you know I received your family's thank you letters and lovely picture from Zoe today!

 

[mommy2mrb]

waiting, waiting

 

[brookerene]

Oooh, its so hard to wait till the boys get home!!! Are those boxes driving you and Zoe crazy???? lol

They are! LOL! they are sitting out there calling out...openme!
Also my FIL didn't recognize your SF name but that doesn't mean they didn't possibly meet. He gave me another name but I forgot it and will have to look it up!

More Big Gives! You'll be filling up those luggage soon with all the great Big Gives coming your way! Can't wait for the boys to get home to see what they got!

I also wanted to let you know I received your family's thank you letters and lovely picture from Zoe today!

Well the luggage is filling up! I'm glad that you got the letters... I try to work with them at writing letters so that I can help them learn the value of not only receiving them but composing them as well! Sometimes it is not easy, but I'm hoping it will pay off!

waiting, waiting

I will post it this afternoon so it won't be too long! It's like watching the clock on the last day of school!

 

[Mom2mitokids]

Man...you are a big tease. I can't wait to see what's in those boxes.

 

[mommy2mrb]

[brookerene]

Well the boys got home and we opened our big gives. I did have trouble uploading so I will be putting up what I have now and adding some later!

So what was awaiting the kids?

What could it be?

A wonderful letter...

and what wonderful WWoHP shirts! Can't wait to wear them to IOA!

Thank you KJPOTTER and family! It is a privelege to be your first Big Give...Thank you!

More photos will come tonight after I try to reload them....My internet wasn't cooperating with me!



And from Ballet Mom!

what could they be?

They loved everything! and wanted to put together the puzzles and more... I had to tell them to wait for most of it but let them put the puzzles together!
The crayon rollups were awesome and the stickers are great... and the activity pads will be great for the ride to Omaha and other travelling for the trip!
I will upload more photos in a little bit... Kaleb's photos didn't upload... but they will come!

 

[mommy2mrb]
