pixy0stix and LoveTrains - Thanks, after I figured out the delivery store, we didn't have the option of white lights anymore, so I think it will be multi-colored lights.
great, I'm glad the store made an executive decision for you.

Everyone participating in this is amazing. The response shouldn't surprise me but it does make me overwhelmingly happy and grateful.
Here is my plan for the $ that comes in via paypal. First, if not purchased, I'll get a tablet for the 9 year old boy. We'll have enough for this. Then I'll buy the winter jackets for the 12 and 10 year old girls. I may not get the ones listed on Amazon. My BJs (like Costco or Sam's Club) has some really nice winter gear for less. And then depending on funds I'd like to create stockings for the parents. Particularly the father of family one. He hasn't asked for anything but he deserves a treat too.
Is this okay with everyone? I'll update when I get to that point and let you know how far I can stretch the dollars. :-)
I delivered the Christmas tree and ornaments to the family of seven tonight. Because our weather is so awful I also took the two coats I had (for the 22m old and the 7 year old) so they didn't have to wait another two weeks for warm jackets.
The mom hugged me twice. Once before I even brought anything in and again as I was leaving. She must have said 'thank you' a dozen times. I told her that was not necessary and that I would be arranging to be the rest of the gifts soon.
Something weird is going on. Some packages have made it to the office, and some people have gotten the same message as you. Two packages even showed up at my house!
The address is. Wildwood Foundation 2995 Curry Rd Ext, Schenectady, NY 12303.
I checked the wish list and things are correct there.

I got the same message this morning about the delivery address, but when I just tracked the delivery, it looks like they figured out the mistake and it was delivered at 5pm today.

I got an email with that message back on Tuesday but the same thing happened - when I looked up the tracking it had been delivered. I hope that is right. Please let me know if you didn't get mine. Thanks!
I called Amazon earlier today and we reviewed every order. Some things are delayed due to weather but should still arrive on time. Many items were to be delivered today or tomorrow.
The bike showed up at the office today. There is no tracking slip, so if you happened to purchase it, know it arrived.
I had about 10 packages on my door step when I arrived home tonight. I will try to open them tonight and let you all know what has made it.
If not tonight I'll definitely update from the office tomorrow.
You guys it's going to take me days to wrap all this stuff! But staff who walk by my office and see the piling growing are all volunteering to help so it's all good. :-)
I'm only going to the list the stuff that hasn't arrived at this point because that is certainly faster:
Peg & Cat DVD - Amazon says it is scheduled to arrive Saturday. Spatulas - Amazon says those are due in early January. I'll create a cute IOU for those. Dump Truck w/ Blocks - schedule to arrive today Men's Nike - delayed due to weather (though I can't imagine it not getting here early next week) Women's Nike - a coworker of mine ordered these yesterday Flat Iron - Amazon thought it would be here early next week. I'll keep tabs on it.
I purchased jackets for the 12y and 10y girls but when the 10y old tried it on today (she goes to school here) it was a bit snug. I then had her try on my jacket and it fit well. So I'll go out and lunch, return the junior sized jackets and get two that fit. Clothes shopping for other people is hard! :-p
I have received a few more paypal gifts and a gift was sent in to the office. If anyone else is planning to paypal or send funds please let me know, just so I can plan my shopping and look for sales.
twotrue what is left? I'm late to the party, but would live to contribute. Is paypal better at this point?
The only things left that I consider needs are boots for the 22m old (size 6.5/7) and the 7 year old (size 2). Amazon didn't have a great selection but I think I can probably snag some from Target. I want to fulfill the winter clothing needs and then I'm going to get a tablet for the 9y old and a case to go with that.
I just found out that had the dad picked something he would have asked for this:
I'm so proud of the deals I scored this weekend! I had the Target coupon good for 20% off my entire purchase so I tried to get as much as could in one trip. I scored the Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 for only $190!! The Target customer service rep was so nice. She agreed to price match BJs even though they don't usually price match warehouse store prices and then allowed me to use the 20% on top of that. The tech expert here at work says this will be perfect for the 9y/o boy's speech therapist to load a bunch of speech tools on. I just need to get a good case for it and we'll be set there.
And the two coats I picked up for the 10 and 12 year old seem to fit this time! The 10 year old just tried her's on and it's great so since the mom says they wear the same size I'm sending the other one home today.
I think most everything arrived at the end of last week. I'm in and out of meetings most of today so if I don't get a chance to post what is still outstanding I'll do that tomorrow. :-)
