Ok...I'm completely stunned. I just got home from taking my 2 girls (they're 8 and 10) to the dentist. We stop at the mailbox on the way home and inside is a medium size box addressed to me. I'm not expecting anything this big, so I'm a little confused. We open up the box and inside is a red, heart shaped box with a bow on it. Then...I realize what it is.
I explain to my girls what the Valentine's exchange is and told them that people send surprises to someone else for Valentine's Day. I said that I had sent pins to somebody else as a surprise and they don't know it's from me and now we're getting a surprise for us. The girls were thrilled! We untied the bow and opened up the box. Inside were 8 individually wrapped surprises. My oldest daughter quickly grabbed the biggest
. She opened it and found this.
"Look! It's a cool Mickey pen!", she said
My youngest opened the next surprise and found this
"Look! It's a Chip and Dale Thanksgiving Pin! Sis, you collect Chip and Dale, I'll trade you for the pen." ...older sis agrees...trade made
I open the next and find this
My mouth drops... "OHH MYYY GODDD!...You've got to be kidding me!", I say....both girls at the same time say, "Dad, I've never seen you so excited about opening up pins before"
We open up the next 5 packages and each time we say "LOOK!!! It's another!!!" I had to stop myself from saying "Holy S&%#!" each time. We opened these 5 surprises...
I don't know who you are secret valentine, but I know where you're from
I will find out what you like and in the future I hope to zap this extreme kindness. I'm in total disbelief. My girls and I say Thank you sooo much!!!
, an awesome Mad Hatter magnet made from a Magical World of Disney card, confetti!!, and two beautiful collectible thimbles (the Tiana & Naveen one already looks PERFECT with my PatF collection!). As a huge Disney nut, my collections are definitely not limited to pins, so I still cannot get over this gift!!! Pam - you are a Valentine superstar!!!
