Ah, you're such a good sister. All Eric's getting from me is a hotdog-shaped birthday card and a note from the kids. You're infinitely cooler than I could ever dream to be!!!

i love your box. very very cute. too bad sending packages to other countries costs like four times the amount valued inside of the usually. lame.

Don't you worry...my house is full of orange sugar products! I went to Target on Friday night and couldn't help myself to a little bit of everything!

Did you get my email? Am I going to get to see you on Thursday? If so, bring your cute girl (if that's not too stressful)! :)

You've always been so good at gifts. It's obvious you put a lot of thought into it. I still remember how cute you wrapped my baby shower gift...cute Tommy Hilfiger overalls in a really cute patriotic tin that I still have to this day! Way to go! I'm with Steph...love the wrapping paper!

Wow...I wanna go on a mission just so I get a package like that from you!!

I totally went to post a comment and saw the name Stephanie, checked it out and saw Steph had a blog now too- So I started reading... (I was suppose to go to sleep)
So, way cute package! I want to do something super cute to send to the boi (just cuz I'm nice) for his birthday- we'll catch up hopefully at dinner.
Anyways- 6:30, BJ's. Hope you can come- oh please, oh please, oh please!

I hope that CUTE box with all those YUMMY orange treats makes it in one piece! I can see those mailman in Mongolia treating themselves to some orange sugar:)

I am sitting here admiring how cute that package is... and simply lamenting the fact that my brothers 1) do not have a sister like that.... and 2) would probably not appreciate or even notice the adorableness/time/creativity/wrapping product that is that gift...but Elder Dix will...cause it's in the blood...

What a fun looking package! I'm sure he's going to love all the sugar! i know I would. Cute box! It's so nice of you to send him a package. I never sent my brothers anything like that. It was always too expensive to send so far away. You're so nice.

So cute! :) Elder Nix is a LUCKY guy! :) Your a good sister! Love your festive-ness! :)

Lucky missionary! I bet you are counting down the seconds until your 'twin' comes home!

I wish you were my sister. What else is new? I think I first had that wish when we were 10 and playing with my doll house (wait, that was my MOM you were playing with).

What a great present! I bet he LOVES treats from you. :)
