A package from my friend, Britney arrived today. It was a joyous occasion. In it was birthday presents for me, Olivia, and Ashley, as well as something for Austin. Olivia got a great little Dora bath toy. Anything to make the bath more fun and enjoyable is good in my book. Olivia just loves Dora to death and all we have here are DVDs. Ashley got two outfits and a cute pair of pants from Children's Place. She is so small I worry the 3 month won't fit her til 6 and the 9 month until 1 year! Oh well.
For me, there was the cutest set of earrings, necklace and bracelet in turquoise. I just love that color and I was wearing a chocolate brown shirt today. How serendipitous! They look great together. Thanks so much Britney. I know you put a lot of thought into choosing the right things. Love them.
Also included in the box was a Gap order that Britney saved from being lost forever. It was delivered, by accident, to my old house in Provo. I thought I had entered my mom's address when I did it online, but when I received the confirmation email, it said it had been sent to PROVO to my dismay! I guess they had my address on file. I hurried and called Britney and asked her to keep an eye out since she is just down the street. Luckily she was able to liasion with the new owner of our house and get the package for me. I really appreciated it. I got some cute little shirts and a pair of pants for Ashley.
Cute jacket and shirt for Olivia.
Austin was pleased that Britney had also remembered to include something for him. Laffy Taffy (which almost made me cry since we always used to get that from the Crest drive-thru with Britney and kids) and a Spiderman activity book. As of now it has kept him busy for over an hour.
Ah, good friends are fabulous. Britney is one of those friends that you hold dear in your heart. I love her like a sister. When we made the decision to move to Australia, I seriously had to get over the fact that I wouldn't be near her. It was so hard to know that I was moving away and couldn't just call her whenever I wanted, walk down the street with my kids to hang out and chat, go to dinner and talk for hours, share clothes, complain about not having money, carpool to soccer and preschool, take pumpkin cheesecake over at 10pm (yes, she loves pumpkin as much as me), laugh about old boyfriends and bad dates (she has some DOOZEYS), etc. I have never understood those people who talk about friends who are 'kindred spirits' but now I know. I love you to death Britney! I know you will hate me for putting this photo on here, but I had to. Besides, I hate all photos of myself too. Maybe you are still in Estonia and won't see it. Thanks for the package!

That's a cute picture of Britney, what's up with being in Estonia? We just got back from there too. Right!
That looks like a load of fun stuff. You seem to be raking it in lately with Lori's deliveries as well. Treats abound.
What a great friendship. It is always good to hear about friends like that.
I laugh that little Ashley is still wearing her 3 month clothes because Jack who is literally a day apart in age is wearing 6-12 and filling those out with his 18 lb bod.
Wow, I think that's a great photo of Brittany, so I'm sure she won't mind at all. She is a super friend and I loved being able to read and see what she sent you! What a fun day.
Hooray for good mail! I'm so glad your package was rescued from postal oblivion.
