Santa dashed through the light snow we had this evening to visit our Wisconsin home with a mountain of unexpected gifts!!! As we hauled the packages into the house the kids were already climbing on them! Before we even opened our large stack of secret santa packages mom & dad were amazed at what we'd find!!!

Let us begin!!! With FIVE total boxes here is what treasures we kids found:

Gift 1: Trader Joe's Peppermint Bark! -- YUMYUM my Joe says as he's sniffing the box of treats! Santa and the elves know this won't make it to the weekend with our family!

Gift 2: K'NEX Education - DNA, Replications and Transcription Set! Awesome, this gift pleases dad&mom, we had the whole family's DNA sequenced with 23andme.com recently and we are always talking about genetics! :) Thanks again Santa!!!

Gift 3: Early Learning, Little Hands Ready, Set, School - Wow! This fun learning set will teach my kids everything before kindergarden! ABCs, 123s! with markers, stencils, stickers and paper activities! ... This kit has everything!! maybe we can use it as a babysitter... hmmm

Gift 4: Learning Resources Snap 'N' Learn Shape Butterflies - my 10 month old daughters eyes lit up ... hand grabbed one of these got a huge smile and it went straight to her mouth! First it's a chew toy, then it's learning time! yay! Her room theme is butterflies so it will fit right in! My son also had a great time putting the puzzle pieces together Thanks Santa you are the greatest!!!

Gift 5: Kid Galaxy vertigo Copter Sky Shark - ... part helicopter, part shark! The sky around us will never be the same again! To be honest, I can't tell if this gift was intended for dad, son, daughter, or even the cat... Wow!!! We are all going to enjoy this immensely!!! .. I wonder if we can land this on mom's head.... will that get dad on the naught list next year?

Summary!

Thank you Thank you Thank you Great Secret Santa from the bottom of our hearts .... from the parents .... again from the kids!!!

So wonderfully thoughtful and exciting! You have a very kind soul and made the four of us extremely happy! The learning games will help guide the little ones into the future, doctors, lawyers, presidents, astronauts?!!! You get some credit! Overall: 10/10!!!!!!

Update: Gift 6 with a slight delayed shipment :) DNA structure etched inside clear glass blocks! I love it! Thanks again my friend!
