Today I came home to a couple of packages on my front porch. I had already received the printer my mom had mailed me, so I was really unsure what could be inside these big ol' boxes. As soon as I got inside, I ripped open the mystery packages and found this inside:

(along with a very large memory stick)

I was so shocked, but knew immediately who was behind this, so I phoned Melynda right away and she, of course admitted that she, Brian, Bay, Lindsay, Josh, Carolina, Bertrand and Gladys had conspired to send me this ultimate surprise birthday gift. It's doubly exciting since Guillaume's camera (which had been on the verge of death for months now) had completely died on us a couple of days ago. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect camera (it makes sounds when I push buttons and even plays music while showing slideshows!!!)!!! I'll be sure to share the products of my new treasure after I've taken pictures of everything in sight! That's one thing I can officially cross off my wish list! Thank you!!


And now some pics of the gift-givers...


















Love y'all! Thanks again!
