Thankyou so much to the O'Briens secret pal. This month Anisha received a beautiful piggy bank that was hand painted with her name on it, ladybugs and some beautiful flowers. It was a wonderful surprise! Whoever did the painting on the piggy bank did a fantastic job! Thankyou again secret pal for being so generous.

My Secret Pal sent the cutest little pig, the book The Real Story of the Three Little Pigs, and a ladybug clacker. I just love them all. This little pig is so soft. What a great way to celebrate the year of the pig! Thank you secret pal!!!

To M Jonsson´s secret pal!

Thank you very much for all the nice traveling things in January´s package. I received lots of practical items for our journey. Spoons and cups. A snack trap, which I especially like because I have seen it on the net but can´t buy in where I live. Once again my secret pal could sense what I like!! :-) :-)
A small practical band aid kit and sewing kit. Wash cloths, wipes and disposable bags. Tooth brushes and cases for the whole family. Amanda immediately took the pink one!!
Also things for us to do on the journey. For our daughter Amanda crayons and a coloring book and a sudoku book for us.
I can´t wait for us to travel to our child!!

Thank you Secret Pal. You are great!

Let Me Tell you a story about the O'Brien's Secret Pal Gift for January

It was a cold winters day, the doorbell rings. The mailman hands me a package which I cannot wait to open. In great anticipation as I hurry to open the big box I find treasures of Disney. Ohh what a beautiful collection of Disney treasures all from The Lion King to Beauty and the Beast. 12 Board books which will conveniently fit into the diaper bag. And with these wonderful books little munchkin disposable bibs. I cannot add an ending to the story because the little girl who will be reading these wonderful books is not home yet but when she is I will definately add a happy ending to this story. Secret Pal I wanted to thankyou for these wonderful gifts and let you know that when I go to get Anish these will definately be in our suitcase.
Thankyou again secret pal

To Megan Anderson's Secret pal,

Thank you for all of the great travel items! I love to hold those little bottles and pretend that I am a giant. Har har. We got some great wet ones and wet ones antibacterial hand gel- (that gets a thumbs up from the Bio teacher!), and Huggies changing mats- so we can change on the go, some johnsons & johnsons baby shampoo, lotion, soap- all of my favorites. I just unscrew the cap and take a whiff and I am 4 years old again! Little Miss Olivia will be so squeaky clean! I might borrow some of those too.

We have finally gotten our camera fixed so here is a little parade of the terrific gifts we've received, and have poorly reported on...

Thank you secret pal! Happy Chinese New Year! May all your wishes (or the one big one we all share) come true this year of the boar.

Love,
Megan and Chris

Giulietti Secret Pal you made my (our) day! Thank you for the travel and Chinese New Year gifts. Sophie especially loved the little pig, and we had never heard of a bilby before! Sophie’s class is studying China in school this week … she was so proud to bring in the Dancing Dragon and My First Chinese New Year books and show them off.

Thanks again for your wonderful and thoughtful gifts! Pete, Jill and Sophie

P.S. Note that in the photo that the candy is already gone :) .

Thank you Fellman family. We found out our secret pal identity. They did a great job surprising us each month.

Sorry the pics are out of order(and sideways). This month we got forks and spoons, bowls with lids, a portable changing pad, disposable bag dispenser and refills. The greatest thing we got was an Eeyore cross-stitch. I now know my pal is pretty crafty (from reading her blog) and her nursery is done in Pooh and friends. What a perfect match.

Thank you!!

Thanks to the Williams' secret pal. We got a duffel bag and a great stroller organizer. Seems my secret pal has some psychic abilities since I was perusing the LL Bean travel catalog & debating on getting a duffel to take to China empty & bring back full. Thanks secret pal!

Thanks so much Secret Pal! The "To everything there is a Season ...." gift bag was so neat with the lady bugs. This scripture has been one I hear so often in my head lately...how fitting and perfect you would send all the great goodies in it! I am also thankful nothing was breakable. It took a good tumble as I was carrying it in. TinyDiner is so neat. Kate will be number 4. By then germs.....what are those, HA! But I really do have issue with tabletops and the little catch all thing, too. Perfect for me! You can find me under the table every meal because I feel guilty to leave my childs mess for someone else to clean.
We love and appreciate your gifts! Thanks!

Happy Chinese New Year to you and your family!
These gifts all gave me a big hint that you too are a Mom already....but I could be wrong!
