Suprise in the Mail!

A few weeks ago Colin and Gillian got a surprise package in the mail! They LOVE getting mail, even a postcard. So a rather good sized box with their names on it was just about the bee's knees in their minds! So, who had this fantastic surprise come from? Our very own JESSIE BEAN! YAY! Jess had been to Huntsville, Alabama for work and stopped by NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center for some Colin and Gillian goodies! She knew exactly how excited these two get over rockets and space "stuff"!

My pictures aren't the best. I was trying to control the mess of opening so much stuff while still documenting their excitement!

Colin "reading" the enclosed note from Jess.


A BIG backpack of NASA pictures, coloring books, book marks, and all sorts of other stuff!


Our First Space Encyclopedia on the floor there.


And OH BOY! A shuttle for each of them!



And some shuttle and NASA tattoos. Those were HIGHLY enjoyed.


Happy, happy boy.


The next day we sat down and "wrote" thank you notes to Jess. I wish I would have copied them before I mailed them. I just dictated what the kids said and gave them very few prompts. They had very sweet words for Jessie Bean and were very grateful for their goodies! We have been playing with this stuff for WEEKS!!
