So I'm sitting wrapped up in a fleece blanket with my daughter, watching the Tigers vs Pirates, and am chowing down on some wonderful Cracker Jacks. This isn't how I planned my night to go, so let me recap this wonderful occasion.

So I pulled into my house this afternoon and saw this large package sitting on my porch. I wasn't expecting this, as the tracking had said this would be delivered tomorrow. So I thought great! I grabbed it with my daughter right behind me asking if today was her birthday (tip: it isn't).

When we got to our kitchen table, the first thing I saw it was a Cottonelle box and Santa had written "It's not toilet paper, I promise!". This made me laugh out loud.

As I opened up, I saw a huge card envelope on top, that said to open last. So I pulled that out and put it on the side. As I dug through, the first thing I found was a big bag of Cracker Jacks (I try to eat these at every game I go to). I also pulled out 4 pouches of Big League Chew, which was the gum of choice for this guy when I was a mediocre little leaguer who thought he was Mark McGuire (my favorite player growing up). We promptly opened and pack and stuffed those delicious strands in our mouths.

Next we continued on and I saw two beautiful cards that read, "For Abbi". First item up, was a book that she was pumped about. The card noted that Santa was into nighttime book reading, which is a thing in our house. It will be read tonight at least 3 times. We moved on to a small t-shirt wrapped in string. It was a wonderful little shirt with the great old school Tigers logo on it. Abbi's response, "I want to wear it!", but imagine that with a mouth full of gum.

As I moved on, I found an awesome pin for the old Briggs stadium, which I thought was great. Further down, I found my version of the t-shirt Abbi had gotten and I did a little happy dance. Is this a new tradition for our trips to the park? Um, YES!

As I continued down, I found a book about the early days of baseball and this will be started here shortly. Finally, I reached the bottom and holy moley! There was a huge, fluffy, Detroit Tigers blanket. Abbi immediately claimed it and has been curled up in it since.

From there, I moved on to the card which had a very nice note. I found out that she made the blanket, which is incredible. This is definitely something I will cherish. So thank you for taking the time (and energy finding the materials) to make this. Also, the card art was pretty rad and notecard was rad, just had to say that. Thank you for including Abbi and for everything. Good luck to your Braves and Giants this season!
