The Best Christmas Present EVER

So we did receive the best Christmas present on Friday last week. It was the rest of our stuff!!!! :) It felt like Christmas since we hadn't seen these things since the end of Sept. I can finally start decorating the house and scrapbook! Spencer didn't know what to do with so many toys. He's only had 5 things since Sept. so he was very overwhelmed. We can read books, play games, print things out on our computer, and watch other movies!! We weren't sure if we would get our stuff on Friday or not, and that was the last day to get it before Christmas. One of the guys that works to get our things from customs worked very hard to get all of our things, and we are so grateful for him. He saved Christmas! :) It's a Christmas Miracle! :)

So we were able to get all of our Christmas stuff out and put up our tree that night. It felt so much more like Christmas with all of our things. Spencer kept saying that the tree was so beautiful and he wanted to look at it forever. So sweet.

And while we were putting up our ornaments we opened our curtains on the big front windows/doors we have, and outside we saw our guards standing in the front lawn looking at the Christmas tree. They seemed to like what we had done to the tree. You have so many mixed feelings here this time of year, because you are so happy to have your Christmas, and presents. Then you think of the people here that probably will be getting one or two things this Christmas, but are so grateful to get those things. We made sure that our guards (we have 5 that rotate) had a good Christmas dinner. We got them for their Christmas gifts food, they were very happy. :)
