Christmas Package!!!

Adam got his Christmas packages today!!! I was so excited for him to get them. I ended up being able to fit it all into two boxes, I'm becoming very good at packing them..
Here is the boxes all decorated
I found this on pinterest, I know what a surprise, and it was in a card form so I changed it so I could put it in the box.
Here is what I put into the two boxes:
1. we have his stocking, which took up about half a box
2. presents, which I told him he is not allowed to open up until Christmas, and there is one for Christmas Eve.
3. Muddy buddies, he loves these.
4. Caramel. I make my Grandma's microwave caramel every year and had to send Adam some. I sent most of it there to him because if I have it here at home it would not be good.
5. Egg Nog: I'm not sure weather he gets it over there or not but I found it in a powder form and so that way it didn't spoil while it was being sent over.
6. Chocolate covered marshmallow Santa. Adam and his brother Jon get these ever year and they are like a buck at Walmart. 
7. Cough drops, don't know why I sent them I just had a feeling to do so.
8. Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory chocolate. I went there the weekend before I sent this off, Adam loves their seafoam and I also got stuff with nuts in them.
9. Cocoa Roasted almonds. I didn't fit the entire thing into the box but I put about a quart size bag worth into the box.
10. Christmas tree with battery powered lights, ornaments, a star for the top, and a tree skirt. That way he has a tree to put his presents under.
11. you will see the 3 small stocking..well I knew Adam would want to get the other 47ish men in his group something small and I was just going to do the Grinch pill saying...
But then I decided to do the little stocking, and I got them for a good deal at Hobby Lobby (I LOVE that place)...then I put caramel, and kisses in them. Hopefully everything doesn't taste like mint, I put the non mind candy into little to help prevent that. We'll see how that goes.
Adam was super surprised that I did the little stocking for his guys. I had to make 48 of them and it took almost an entire box just for them.

So thank you for reading our blog! I hope Adam has an awesome Christmas with what I have sent and hopefully he is a good boy and doesn't open the present until Christmas. Remember this Holiday season when you are with family that those overseas serving our country are not with family and to send your love and appreciation their way.
 Here is a picture Adam sent me today of his tree all decorated with the presents under it. The ornament in the middle I got at hobby lobby and then put a picture of us kisses so that I will be there with him on Christmas. This will be our first Christmas away from each other since we have known each other. it's going to be hard.
