December Secret Pal Goodies Arrived TODAY!




What wonderful timing! Here it is our 9 month LID-iversary and we get a box of WONDERFUL goodies from our March DTC Secret Pals! We could not BELIEVE how generous and thoughtful our secret pals were to us this month! The theme for December was "Toys For Tots," but our secret pals sent goodies for ALL OF US! They are the best and both Doug and I have come to think of them as friends! They write us beautiful notes and send us emails anonymously and we just love them!
This month they sent:
1. Two books: Shaoey and Dot, and Daddy's Girl!
2. A Hallmark ornament that says, "Expecting Parents"
3. A Panda ornament
4. Three cat toys for the girls! They took those and ran off!
5. A little toy that has a teething ring, a linking chain, a ladybug that squeaks and has wings that crinkle (perfect to take to China when we go)
6. A gift card for Toys-R-Us (where we are registered)
7. A STeven Curtis Chapman Christmas CD that made me cry because it has his adoptive daughter from China, Shaoey, reading the Christmas story from the Bible and then she sings with him, "We Wish You A Merry Christmas". It is WONDERFUL!
8. A Christmas bib that says, "A little stocking stuffer"
9. A card and gift card from OUTBACK Steakhouse for our anniversary! (which was Dec. 23rd: our sixth!)
They just BLEW us away with all of this! THANK YOU! We are DYING to know who Mr. and Mrs. Secret Pal are! We hope that we get to meet them one day and just STAY FRIENDS FOREVER!!!!!!! BIG HUGS to our Secret Pals!

HEY SUSAN, I JUST WANTED TO SAY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
THIS IS THE YEAR YOU ARE GOING TO GET YOUR BABY...WOOHOO! SO I TRIED TO POST A COMMENT EARLIER BUT I'M NOT SURE IT WENT THROUGH.
THE MUSIC ON YOUR BLOG REALLY BRINGS ON THE TEARS FOR ME. WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR FIRST CHILD ALSO. WE MIGHT NOT TRAVEL TO CHINA TO GET HER UNTIL DEC 2007/JAN 2008...AND THAT IS WITH CHINESE EXPEDITED STATUS. SO WE WISH YOU A HAPPY AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR.
