Christmas in September

When I got the email yesterday to schedule our sea container delivery I couldn't stop smiling. It has been a very long 2 1/2 months. We have survived without so many of our favourite luxuries, but now that they are here I am so glad we have them. I'm not sure what I am more excited about: the dishes, pots 'n' pans, linens, cook books or piano? I know right, who knew you could get so excited about any of those.

Chris and I spent all day unpacking, most of the boxes before the girls got home from school. Not sure where we are going to put everything yet.

We had Christmas music playing and let the girls go into their rooms one by one. They all screamed and jumped on their beds full of stuffed animals and special blankets from home. They are still running around the house finding treasures that have been "lost" for 2 1/2 months. Even as I write this blog I can hear a scream of joy every once and a while.


The girls have had their after school shower and are now dressed in clothes they haven't seen for a while. Chris and I are exhausted from unpacking everything, so pizza it is for supper.


Looking around the house, it feels even more like home.


Before going to bed I took pictures of the girls sleeping with all their favourite things, they have missed. Special teddy's, blankets, toys and they even all wore PJ's which just arrived.
