a christmas story.


once upon a time there was a super cute couple named the haddoxes.
-they have awesome blogs.
-amazing taste-n-style. [fer reals.]
-numerous gifts & talents.
-a {perfect} christmas tree.
-a model-baby named paisley.
-[and a dog called chloe.]

one chilly winter night, this sweet little family showed up at the dunns' doorstep.
they were looking adorable &
[bearing festive gifts.]


first, was a container of mouth-watering
{to die for}
melt-in-your-mouth katie-homemade caramels.
[AKA heaven in wrapper.]
*she even made tiny-custom-chloe pieces.*
they are beyond delightful.
{and addicting....in a *very* good way!}

the second gift =
a super nice real-life
psp+games+case!!!!

angie and myron were completely overwhelmed
& touched by such thoughtfulness & generosity.

truly: there aren't really words to describe how much this amazing gesture
made the dunn's day/week/month/life.

angie & her emotionally pregnant self has {already} cried a river of gratitude.

and myron has a perma-grin as he holds/pets his new toy.

just as the dunns were feeling [a little down] by a disappointing theft
their upmost faith has been restored in the sheer goodness of humanity.

***

thank you katie, steven & paisley,
for having huge hearts this holiday season!

you have [no idea] how much we appreciate your rockstar-ness.

merriest christmas from our little fam to yours!

*now, peace out*
[while i go {devour} another caramel.]

We're still so grateful we could offer some kind of joy in this time of year. We know what it's like to go through some tough times and we were so grateful to be given the perfect opportunity to help make your lives a little brighter (even if it was just through a little material thing). I can't imagine how hard it must be for Myron and all of you to be separated so much and I'm glad we could help to minimize that gap in some small way.

Thanks so much for your appreciation. I just want to say thank you for blogging about your situation so we could find a use for our untouched PSP. There's no way to describe the joy that can be had from giving as much as receiving :)

I hope your holidays continue to be bright!

-Steven
