PACKAGES FROM AFAR

We received a package Saturday from my parents. It appears that unbeknownst to me, I had a birthday. ::snort:: The package also included boys birthday and anniversary (Feb 14th) cards.

The children knew right away that THIS was from grandma because of the wrapping....::snort::


I explained to the children that Grandma was used to packages being opened in Mindanao and that is why she uses DUCT TAPE and so much of it.....and we all laughed when we noticed the writing on the box. Um, Mom? How long have you been saving this box? ::snort::

My Gift - isn't it adorable? I tried to snap a picture of it solo but some little imp got her chubby baby hand in the picture.....

Sis: We also have to laugh at the box. When I was packing it I told Dad that it was the dumbest box I had dealt with for a long time. :):) No wonder it was not to strong..... I did not notice it was from the PI's. You know me... any good box I keep for future use. This one had been used for years (now that I look at it) for a certain square Filipino nativity..... :):)

Love the impish little hand. What a cutie!!!

Also gift giving... Filipino in that we give what we want and don't pay to much attention to seasons..... :)

Guess I taught you well by example because when you needed to tape up a hole...... DUCT TAPE! :):):):)
