Presents, presents everywhere!

Last night we went to the inlaws for supper. Josh's mom had been away in Afganistan (on vacation, not for anything war-related) for a few weeks. One of her sisters flew their mother and the other sisters over for their mothers birthday. Well, we finally got over for a visit, and it was about time! We looked through some amazing trip photos, and I'm telling you, it looked fantastic!! Afganistan is beautiful! Someday, I wouldn't mind taking a venture over there. They all had a great time, and i'm glad. And like any good Grammy would, she brought back way too many great prezzies for the girls. They each got a beautiful throw pillow for their beds, with a camel sewn on it. They got aprons for helping in the kitchen, funny (although cute) little hats, and gorgeous hanging elephant decorations for their rooms. The girls were in their glory!! Janet didn't forget me and Josh either. I got a lovely bookmark, a keychain I adore, and a couple camel ornaments for the Christmas tree! Josh jot a really neat little vase filled with ornamental sand. Great job Janet!!
You'd thnk that would be enough excitement for one day, but a parcel had arrived from Josh's sister (who is teaching english in Korea). Aunt Amanda sent the girls each a pink tshirt with a panda bear on it. The girls went crazy! Especially Hailey, who's always had a soft spot for her Aunt Amanda. Haileys tshirt has rows of pandas doing (what looks like) dance moves. I've never seen Hailey so excited about a tshirt before. She spent most of the evening learning the "panda dance" and showing it to anyone who would look her way. I have a feeling I'm going to be seeing a lot of that shirt!
