Christmas almost a month late!

This Saturday I was thrilled and delighted to finally get my Christmas packages from my family. There were lots of wonderful goodies in those boxes, and I spent a very happy afternoon unpacking and exclaiming in delight over the gifts. Here are some of the things I found:

Mary and Jordan sent me a Star Trek calendar which is now hanging in my room safe from certain eyes—yay for some more nerd!

They also send me some pumpkin spice latte VIA—one of my most hoarded treats out here where I can’t make Starbucks runs. My mom also sent a lot of wonderful pumpkin spice mix; the one box and it’s contents smell rather strongly of it fact! Notice my cool nerdy coffee from Beth right beside it…

My younger siblings sent me some TARDIS blue yarn for the “Bigger on the Inside” wrap I have been wanting to make for quite some time. Now I just need to hold off from casting on right away…

My parents sent me the beautiful “Jane Austin Knits 2013” magazine, as well as the next season of “Once Upon a Time.” YES!

Flynn totally made my day by sending me the last two volumes of “Digger,” a webcomic about a wombat. Yes, I know what it sounds like, but it’s a GREAT story, and I love the art. Flynn, I miss you more than a stormtrooper too!

I feel so blessed to have such an awesome family who is willing to ship gifts across the ocean at great expense. Thanks so very much to each of you, and know that your gifts are being loved and used! Oh—my mom made me something else that is totally AWESOME, but I don’t have decent pictures of it yet, so you’re just going to have to wait to see what it is!
