The day before Valentine's Day, the boys got a letter in the mail (card and "big" money from great-grammy) AND a package in the mail (candy, "big" money and a beanie and gloves from grandma and grandpa). Dylan loves dogs and grammy picked the perfect card for him...he still carries the card around and will show everyone the dog.

Blake was a little more excited about the "big" money then he was with the card, but loved getting something in the mail.

We are going to go visit my folks in Ohio on their mission, just a couple weeks before their mission is over. Since it is going to be a bit colder then we are used to, they sent the kids a beanie and gloves.

Dylan was a little frustrated that the candy was in a bag...he wanted to eat it right away!

Yes, beanies and gloves are exciting things because they never wear them.
