Spoiled by Aunts & Uncles

This is a story worth telling. Every year, we rotate gift giving with Stephen's brothers. Last year, his brother Mike had us, but they weren't able to get the presents the bought for us down here. A few weekends ago, I received a call from one of Mike's wife's friends, saying that she had a box of presents from Mike & family to give to us. She wanted to arrange a time to meet the next day, Sunday. It was during this time that we were dealing with the news that Grandpa Lee had died, & Emily's cat had disappeared. Christmas cheer was pretty low, so to pep things up, I told them a surprise was coming after Church & wouldn't say anymore. Emily & Kaitlyn, who love a good mystery, kept trying to guess what it was. They even passed me notes during Sacrament meeting with their guesses on them! They came close to guessing, but didn't quite put all the pieces together. They were all excited when we picked up the presents, but a little let down that they couldn't open them until Christmas!



We also enjoyed presents from Uncle Ernest & family! Thanks for spoiling us! We love you all!
