The Mardi Gras Box

We just love it every year when an unexpected box arrives on our porch form our Aunt Sarah and Uncle Elroy! This is the 3rd year that the boys (and Tessa's first year) have received a box full of beads, shirts, treats, stuffed animals, light up balls and necklaces and footballs. The list goes on and on of the stuff that comes in the box. It is so fun to see the looks on their faces as we CONTINUE to pull things out.
Thank you Aunt Sarah and Uncle Elroy for going out of your way to make our kids so happy! We just wish you could be around when they opened the box. Someday (sooner rather than later) we'll get to go to a parade WITH you!
We love you and miss you all like crazy!

Love
Dorian, Melissa, Carson, James and Tessa


The kids and their loot!

Seems more appropriate to change unexpected to unbelievable! What great stuff (and you don't have to worry about all the crazies!)

PS who said Tessa could have that beautiful hair?

Jo said...

Your kids are adorable! Tessa is beautiful! I can't believe how tall James is...and I loved the subtle pose Carson threw out while showing off his shirt! Too funny...

oh MY GOSH!! Tessa is SOOOO cute!!
And your boys are getting so big!! Is James taller than Carson?!?!

The Duckers said...

Nope, James is not taller than Carson. It's just the angle of the video. But they are PRACTICALLY the SAME size!

Are. You. Serious?! Tessa's Hair?! I am so flippin' jealous!!!!!!!!! They couldn't possibly be born at the same time. No 9 month old should be allowed to have that much gorgeous hair! ;)
