To M Jonsson´s Secret Pal--Cyndi Williams!

Sorry about this late thank you. I couldn´t attend the cyber shower and right now time just flies by. We are tired of waiting for our child!!
So I have been planning a trip for 2,5 weeks to Thailand for the past month or so. We still are waiting though! So that’s why I’m out of track with this thank you.
I´m sorry for that.

Thank you so much for the last gift: the book “Taste of the Midwest”. Lots of great recipes and reading about that part of the country and restaurants cafés etc.




I have loved having you as my Secret Pal, you have been the best Secret Pal ever.
I have enjoyed every month´s gift. You have been so thoughtful to me and also to our daughter Amanda 4,5, who also have received gifts. She has been a little bit jealous of “the baby” for getting so much fun toys and other things. So when she got her own gifts she was so so happy. That was a very special thing of you to do. So extra thanks for that.

I really hope that we can see the end of this long waiting this year.

Thank you so much from Marianne Jonsson, Falun, Sweden

Thank you Dal-Corobbo Family! In December, we received some adorable ornaments, pjs bags for the girls, and a special "Journey of a thousand miles ..." framed keepsake. We cherish it all.



You have been awesome secret pals! We have loved opening each one of your gifts, and especially appreciated everything Australian!


We hope to meet up with you in China [soon :)].



Love, Pete, Jill and Sophie

Thank you to Karen Thomas. I was so happy to see my box for this month I couldn't wait to get it open. After I wiped my eyes from the sweet card. We opened the gifts. I loved them all so much. The matching hat and mittens are just the cutest thing ever and I can't wait to get them on our baby girl. The scarf and onsie are also great and who can go wrong with chocolate.
Thanks
Lisa and Chester Moore

To M Jonsson´s secret Pal!

Thank you so much for November´s gift with the nice red outfit.
I just love the small ladybug tote bag with art material. It´s so adorable.














December´s gift was so nice with the special photo arrangement. The painting with the Chinese word for love will be perfect beside the crib for our new child, hopefully soon to be.










I wish you a Happy New Year!
Thank you so much from Marianne Jonsson

We always get the best gifts from our secret pal!

Thomas Family November Gift!
I love this book and cannot wait to read it to our little girl. I am always looking for new books about adoption and this one is perfect. I am sorry that I have not been posting photos of your gifts, it has been a crazy around here and this wait has been unbearable at times. Your gifts are always so thoughtful and I look forward to getting them.
Thank you secret pal!!!!!!
Good luck with the move & hope you are settled in now!

Is anyone still out here?

Hmm, I am not sure if people are still reading this- but I wanted to tell my (Megan Anderson's) secret pal just how great they are. We absolutely love the ornament!!! The very day it arrived, I had been out shopping and had discovered it- but it was sold out in 2 different places. They tried to get me to buy the Ethiopia ornament (which is oddly coincidental, because I feel like we've also been told to consider the Ethipia program!)

We are proudly displaying it on our tree. Thank you for your thoughtfulness and generosity.

Merry Christmas secret pal, I hope the holidays finds you and yours happy and healthy!
Love,
Megan

To Megan Anderson's secret pal...

Hi- how are you? I have some waaaay overdue thanks! First of all, thanks so much for the oh so cute hat and barrettes last month and the fun little pink (light red!) pants and sweatshirts - and the great bear this month! For those days when we just want to hang around the house on a rainy fall afternoon- we now have matching outfits!

I hope that you had a great thanksgiving and that you enjoy your holidays. I hope you know how much fun I've had with you as my pal.

Thank you so much!!!!

Megan
