Melanie told Dad that the paper was shredded off of one of the packages. Was the book inside ruined? Dad forgot to ask. What about the rest of you? Dad says he told me that we did not have enough packing on top but I don't remember him saying that. I just knew we were hurrying to get the job done because we bought the boxes at the Nephi Post Office and we were using one of their little tables (there are two) so that we were in everyone's way. I guess I should go back to UPS because Kimo and his kids take me in the back and help me package. Maybe UPS is the way to go.

Melanie wrote: The book that we didn't re-wrap was fine...we left it out to read tonight as part of our family night. The other book looked fine, I re-wrapped it and put it under the tree.
I am excited for the children to see the other book. It is awesome!

Thanks to all of you for your thanks. I am glad that you all, at least, got the packages. That is wonderful news.
Next year, I am packing everything in bubble wrap and then putting it inside the box. So there, Mr. Postal Service!
Thanks for all the replies.
Did you know that I deeply love each and everyone of you? I hope so.
