Welcome to the 90's, Mister Banks

Name that movie. 
High five if you said Father of the Bride.
Justin and I say that line to each other all the time when we are totally behind the times  
(despite the fact that it's the wrong decade =)

Anyway, back to my point. 
This Christmas season, we had a slew of gifts that welcomed us to the 2000's. 

The other day, we received a package in the mail from Kum Mike and Kuma Amy (Moriah and Jadon's Godparents). We heard them talking about buying an iPad for us, but thought they were joking. Our jaws dropped when we actually opened the package and saw this...
Holy cow. Oh my gosh. No way!!!

Then, my brother, Alex, and sister-in-law, Sarah, bought us this.
 Holy Cow. Oh my gosh. No way!!!

And after an especially hard day with Moriah several days ago, and after crying about 10 times that day, my sweet, thoughtful husband insisted that I open my Christmas present from him early. 
I protested.
He insisted. 
So I opened...
Holy cow. Oh my gosh. No way!!!!
 I would have never expected this in a million years!
I cried again. 
And even though I was still sad about my day with M, this made it better. 
I didn't realize I was so materialistic ;-) 
(just kidding...I know that at the end of the day, these things don't truly matter)

But, seriously, I am in awe, and I can't believe anyone would do something like this for our family. It's also like the time the Stober family gave us an Apple laptop, which we use every single day. We are sooo grateful...and humbled. We do not take any of these things for granted...
We love you Mike, Amy, Alex, and Sarah. 
I love you Justin. 

Only if I could give back to everyone who has given so selflessly to us...I pray God blesses you guys for all of it.
