The love of friends

This year has been very special for us. We have made some wonderful friends in and out of church. Here are a couple of examples of the gifts we have received this Christmas, not to mention all of the yummy treats that have been delivered.
For the past couple of weeks we have had some "Christmas Elves" deliver goodies for the 12 days of Christmas to our door step. My kids got so excited trying to catch the elves ever night. They would run out to the front yard and yell "Thank you Elves!". Here is a couple of the tags they left on the gifts. If my secret elves just happen to read this Thank you a million times over again.

Then a couple days before Christmas, Jeremy heard a noise outside. He looked out the kitchen window and did not see anything and a couple seconds later the doorbell rang. When he went outside he saw this next to the front door.

It was a huge crate. On the top is was stamped North Pole Inc. for the return address, And for our address it said Blackham Family~Express Deliver~Gilbert AZ~USA. Inside was filled with wrapped presents for all of us and some extra goodies (scented pine cones, candles, mints, hot chocolate and popcorn. Here are a couple of pictures of the kids with some of the gifts.

Allies board says"daughters of God are Priceless" and the pink matches her room exactly. She also got a couple different dolls.
Brody got an 80 piece art set and a model train.

Thank you to who ever delivered this wonderful gift it was greatly appreciated. We have had a great time playing with everything.
