Big Happy From Michigan

Amanda texted me earlier last week and said that she had put a package in the mail to Solon.  She said it was supposed to be part of his Christmas present, but it had been delayed due to weather.  It took just a corner of red for me to realize what was inside of the box, and I was so excited I began to cry.  Matt and Amanda (and with a little helping hand from Caelan!) had replicated our red boards.  My parents had gotten us four girls each one for Christmas so long ago I can't remember.  We used them for everything. To mark our spots in the house for our Santa toys.  To color.  To eat.  I even used to set mine up as a hurdle in the den when I was pretending to be a horse...and would run around and leap over it. 

Anyway, as soon as I got Solon's unwrapped he sat on the couch to read, and I ran upstairs and pulled mine out of the closet:)  Wonderful present yall!
