Hope everyone had a wonderful Mother's Day. We had our traditional crawfish boil with shrimp, potatoes, corn, sausage, mushrooms, onions, etoufee and crawfish of course. Lots of fun! Full bellys!! Beautiful weather!
About midday today there was a little beep outside. I figured it was the mail lady and sent Trace out to get the mail. He came back in smiling from ear to ear saying it was all for him.

There was 4 Big Give packages and he didn't know where to start. Until............................. he heard the distinctive sound of what might be Legos in one of the packages.

They are the most awesome autograph books!! A page for every character with their pictures...so cool!! And...one especially for the Star Wars characters!!!!!!

We were looking through the book and I asked Trace if he was going to go up and get their autographs, cause some of those look pretty scary!!

He said, "of course Mom, they are just dressed up!" LOL!
#2--from Tim, Melody and Juliana (that's nice--disname)
Trace LOVES LOVES LOVES the maps. He said he will plan out his entire days...

I love the word find books for him because it helps with his spelling but is not like school work.

The YODA pez dispenser is sooo cute and the stickers are great!
#3--from Beth (blyssful-disname)
How great is this!! Trace got his own drawing bag with sketchpad, colored pencils, a
LEGO set!!!!

, some parachuters and a cool stormtrooper pen. He is sooo proud of that bag and sketchbook. I see lots of new Lego designs coming soon.
#4--from Andrea (vbandrea-disname)
I knew she would love this...even at 17.

She said.. "I've always wanted one of these."
Thanks so much for the eyespy bags and luggage tags. I got them luggage bags for Easter and the tags are perfect for them!!
#5--from Flora (purpleears--disname)
Kelsi was reading the letter and when Trace heard "bag for your new camera", he looked over at me and was like "what new camera???" LOL

We had bought it thanks to another Big Giver who let us use her employee discount, but had put it up until the camera bag arrived.

I kind of played it off and he was having no part of it. We looked at how unique and cute that lego character is on his bag and that he would need to go find his Hidden Mickey book to fit in the pocket. LOL!!

: He held back as long as he could, then wanted to know about this new camera...so dad went and got it and gave it to him.
Thanks again to everyone!! We have scans in a few weeks and the scanxiety has begun for both of us.
