i couldn't believe it when i heard ups ring my doorbell this morning. i wasn't expecting any packages...but it was from my secret santa! so early, so quick, so on top of things--it's not even thanksgiving yet!

after debating whether to open it now, or to wait, i consulted the all-knowing holly. the girl told me to open it "NOW"! when holly tells you to do something, you best listen, because she's smart.


the package!


the first peek inside...



"made with care" oohh, festive!


omg i can't believe this, it's so great...


drawings, just for me! how did he know i love that old spice commercial?


a song, just for me!

in disbelief at all the gifts.
