Mine should have just arrived. ❤️

I brought in three packages today, so I’m sure yours was there too. Thank you!

[underwaterrhymes]

Seriously, guys. This has helped renew my faith in humans. ❤️ I have cried at least four times over the past week or so lol.

Wrapping day! My friend Jess is coming over with donuts and her kids. I am just in awe of the pile of presents to give to the Bonillas. (My cat is pretty thrilled too.)

We are going to take this first round over today and anything else received, we will take over next weekend. As promised, I will also make a list of everything and let you know what else might be needed. Thank you thank you thank you!

[underwaterrhymes]

We are on our way over to the Bonilla’s house! 

More to come later after we drop off, but thank you so much!! This has been such an amazing morning. 

For those who are still interested in buying, gift distribution for the kids was pretty even. We would love it if we could get the other two snow pants still on the list. They can always use clothes, too, but please PM me and I’ll give you my address and clothing sizes. Lastly, Wal-Mart gift cards would be appreciated to put towards a dining room table.

I’m back at the house now. The family was very happy and appreciative (although because both Jess’s and my Spanish is rusty, it was hard for us to communicate exactly where all of these presents came from. We just basically said they came from a lot of friends from all over the country and that probably we’d have more next weekend.)

Below is a list of everything we received. I know a few things are due to arrive this week, so if what you purchased isn’t here, I am sure it’s on its way.

And thank you again so so much. You guys are the BEST.❤️❤️❤️

Also, I thought it wholly inappropriate, self-serving and weird to take any photos of the family, but I did get one of their tree with some of the presents.

The picture with kids under the packages in the car cracked me up. Also, as I was reading the list I read glitter penis and thought...hmmm...and then re-read. Obviously caffeine hasn't kicked in. Thanks for the photos and taking lead. I hope the family has a lovely holiday.

[picksthemusic]

This is making me tear up at work. Thank you for doing this - I really hope their holiday is good and they feel welcomed and blessed. <3

Another quick update, we added two dolls to the list, if anyone still wants to purchase.

The girls are going to flip.

If you PM me your address I can add to the Walmart gift cards. I’m late to the show this year (as I am every year).

[miniroller]

ACK- speaking of late, so embarrassed, so sorry- I cannot believe this got away from me & it’s the 15th 🤦🏻‍♀️ underwaterrhymes can I PayPal to cover any extra expenses &/or do you have any other needs I can help with? ($30ish)

[underwaterrhymes]

Thank you thank you thank you! I’m wrapping everything I received this week:

Table Talk
Foundation Chemistry Kit
2 Journey Dolls
Snow pants - size 8
Snow pants - size 2
Carter’s clothes (lots!)
Rainbow shirt
Eagles shirt
2 Wal-Mart gift cards

miniroller - you’re so sweet! If you want, you could send a Wal-Mart gift card. It would help them buy a dining room table. ❤️ PM me if you want my address.

[underwaterrhymes]

Look at how awesome you all are. Also, look at how much I suck at wrapping.  My youngest was piiiiised I used the lightbulb wrapping paper because evidently it was “his.” 😂

[underwaterrhymes]

I dropped off the rest of the presents today! Thank you so much.

I want to reiterate again how much better this new place they’re living in is. It’s a MUCH safer neighborhood and they aren’t totally living on top of each other anymore. And, of course, there are no bed bugs.

I kind of thought I’d get over there and they would have already opened them because goodness knows my sons when they were 18-months old would have found it hard to contain themselves, but everything is still unopened. They’re going to have such a great Christmas morning thanks to you.

[picksthemusic]

I'm half tempted to blame the tears about this on hormones, but really it's just the right kind of Christmas spirit I needed today.

Thank you for doing this.
