Mac and I were honored to be asked to participate in a little Mommy Blogger Secret Santa Gift Exchange this year with a few of our favorite bloggers. Erinn over at Strawberry Swing and Other Things organized the gift swap between 14 bloggers and their littles, who are all about the same age. She set the whole thing up on Elfster, which allowed us to ask anonymous questions, set up a wishlist and send thank you cards.
Mac has really been into getting "mail" lately, so he was so excited to find this package all for him!
He tried ripping it open with his teeth...he gets this from his dad. Drives me nuts.
Finally! The package!
Alphabet magnets!!
How do you get these things open?
Of course, he couldn't wait to dump them out all over the floor.
And taste them.
And wear the box as a hat.
They were such a big hit!
Our Secret Santas were Veronika and Harper from Veronika's Blushing.
Thank you guys so much for the awesome gift.
We've added them to our magnet wall and can FINALLY spell anything we want.
Mac and I also got to play Secret Santa, so if you want to see who/what we gifted, head over to Ten June and check it out!
And here's a list of all the bloggers participating.
