Honestly, when we opened the box I almost cried. It was so sweet and thoughtful for someone to spoil my boys with all of these adorable cars.
The look on their faces says it all. It was one HAPPY day at our house. John turned on the Cars soundtrack, and the boys frantically grabbed their little treasures as they cruised to the music.
And Ollie loves to play with them too. He makes the cutest little car noises(jhjhjhjhjh--how does one spell car noises??), I could just die.
And whoever sent these, must know kids pretty well to put TWO McQueens in the package.

We have no idea why such kindness was bestowed on us, but we thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
We think you are pretty swell, our secret "Lightning McQueen and Friends"!

**sorry for two posts in-a-row about anonymous donors, but i just cannot sleep at night without having properly thanked them for such sweetness!!!
wow, all these anonymous blessings that are coming your way!! Amazing! And wonderful-- it makes me happy to see it. There are such sweet, sweet people out there, and you and your family are obviously very very loved.
ReplyDeleteI have to tell you how much I loved your last comment on my mini-van post... you put it so perfectly: "not grown-up, just happy". I'm still all lalalalalala myself! :)No wonder I love you.
I think someone has decided to spend time encouraging and blessing your family. My guess is the Target card and the Cars are from the same person. What a fun surprise!
ReplyDeleteThe look on Calvin's face in that 1st pic of the boys is PRICELESS!! What a fun surprise for your boys! I love the "Thank You" signs...you are so cleaver to think of such things! And you're absolutely right...kudos to the giver for including TWO Lightning McQueens!
ReplyDeleteYAHOO FOR SECRET ADMIRERS!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat blessings friend! I'm so happy and thankful for you guys!
and these pictures are DARLING!=) seriously, your boys could be they're own boden catalog=)
i dont know why this post made me get all teary. im such a sap :) i guess i just love surprises! those pics of your boys are super sweet...you can tell they're just swooning over their lil' cars! love it.
ReplyDeletethat is so much fun! i love the photoshoot you did for it- i bet the boys loved it.
ReplyDeletei too LOVE the car sounds lijah does. what great boys we all get to have!
Davi your friends are really special. I miss you all, hope to come up in February:)
ReplyDeleteGreat little signs and photo shoot. Honestly Davy do you ever sleep? Glad they liked them ; )
ReplyDeleteOh Suzanne, you are too too much!! We love you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteOh so CUTE!! I miss Logan's Cars phase. He's moved on to other things... but seeing your kids playing with their new cars brings back all the memories of the car sound effects and borderline obsession with all things Pixar Cars!
ReplyDeleteAwe I just love it! They are such boys! Peyton makes a car sound too ... it usually involves spit also! =)
ReplyDeleteWow, I am loving hearing about all of these blessings you've received! Your boys look absolutely thrilled with their new cars. My sons have quite the collection thanks to their grandparents, and for some reason we always have to call them "Cars cars" to differentiate between regular hot wheels and the movie cars, LOL! Your Secret Admirer is super creative, I love the return address!!
ReplyDeletewhat a blessing! i'm so happy your boys could receive such an amazing gift. what a wonderful treat for them to open up!
ReplyDeletehang in there with Dave Ramsey. We are hardcore over here, so I feel your pain with the beans and rice. I stocked up on chili the past month, it has been on sale for $1 a can. Popeye is in heaven.
okay...i don't even "know" you...although i read your blog regularly and know some of your friends well (i'm an old lbc person - amy o)...but I want to bless your family you're all such dolls! your thank you's are so amazing and over the top, what a wonderful family you have and what an AMAZING mom you are!! happy racing!
ReplyDeleteJust reading your recent "anonymous blessings" posts makes me want to do something like that for someone. Now, I must think of someone who could really be blessed by a surprise care package. Thanks for posting these. It is so fun to read how blessed you are. Oh, I don't know if I've ever commented on your blog, either. I just realized that. But, I read it all the time. Love it!
ReplyDeleteopps! it might have sounded like i was the anonoymas giver...i was not...just trying to say i can see why someone would do such a thing for your oh so sweet family! sorry if it sounded otherwise!
ReplyDeleteThanks to both Amy and Rach for popping by my blog with your sweet words! Welcome!
ReplyDeleteand Amy I totally understood:)
