I've been awaiting the arrival of the package breakingrobertsrules sent since he let me know about it earlier in the week - with the clue that it was featured on the NPR radio show "The Splendid Table", and that he also sent along a gift for my infant daughter.

My husband and I always have NPR on in the car when we're driving around - and have caught that program most recently on Thanksgiving. So yay - I totally know what he's talking about. And a gift for my little kiddo - awesome!

The Amazon cardboard pack arrived today - at my office - because I know the UPS guy so well, he often drops personal stuff off for me there no matter where it's addressed.

I just KNOW when UPS guy Ron saw it addressed to Real Name C/O FOXYCARTOGRAPHER - the small town rumor mill started instantly. Will have to see if there are any lasting effects from that one, robertsrules. Keeping it spicy.

I opened the package at home during my afternoon break - with my kiddo on my lap. She loves boxes more than fisher price anything.

Breakingrobertsrules sent us a copy of "The Recipe Project" - a really cool looking cookbook with a CD of music to pair up with the cookery inside - FUN!

And for my little baby girl - the most adorable bear ear beanie - she looks so darn cute in it. Now that it's cooled off around here, she will get some major use out of it also - so YAY - form meets function! Hello!

Thanks again breakingrobersrules - you are awesome! I hope you get matched up with just as awesome a Secret Santa.
