Christmas in January

We finally got all our Christmas packages and cards in the mail! We were checking our box and waiting in anticipation, but for weeks we saw nothing but flyers from the office.

Finally, last week the shipment came pouring in! We received three packages and countless Christmas cards. I picked them up at lunch, but Nate and I did not have time to open them together until after dinner. It was hard for me not to sneak a peek!

After dinner we opened all the presents from our family and read all the Christmas cards to each other. We were so thankful to have a small taste of "home" and to have something in our hands that our family and friends had in their hands (though it was sent back in December!).

We like to laugh at our new traditions: Thanksgiving in December and Christmas in January! I guess we are just a month behind in the holidays! We thank God for His many blessings especially for mail and for our families!
