My mother admits, ever since Alyson went to live with her, the number of packages from her has decreased significantly. We have only gotten a few packages from Japan since April and even the kids commented how the boxes from grandma are no longer at the door.
That is why all of us were very excited when we found a well bundled (my Mom literally bandages boxes with a packaging tape well and beyond) familiar looking box appeared at our door in early June. We always open it right by the door. The kids cannot wait to open it, so I bring my kitchen scissors to the entrance hall and cut it open while the kids stoop over it eagerly waiting to find out what is inside.
This time, Saya got a hat which she wore it rest of the day, a few snacks, two sticker sheets for all three kids and beads. Sean was jealous of Saya's new hat, but he liked the beads and made himself a blue and green bracelet. Saya felt like she has gotten the best deal of all and quite pleased with herself. The best thing in the package though was the message Alyson wrote to us. She wrote a birthday message to Daddy and he took it to work to put it on his desk. On a message to Saya, she used Japanese stickers to write "I love you, Saya. from Alyson." and it's on our fridge. Saya was very happy!
Thanks, Alyson and grandma! You made our day!!
