And on the same day I had made myself give up- February 9th 2009:) I came home from school and Mark handed me one of the two missing packages. Yep, that's right!
I carefully inspected the box- the address was right, postage was paid... and then what's this? A sticker and stamp from SLOVAKIA! What!?! The ,oh so well educated in geography, post worked in the U.S. had coded our packages to go to Slovakia- not Portugal. Even thought my parents had wisely labeled in black sharpie PORTUAL on the package.
Now I know you are wondering about package #2... that same day it was delivered back to the return address, my Uncle's house in Washington State. Why? I have no idea! But my Uncle got it resent and it arrived in exactly a week- again waiting at my house when I arrived home from school.
So now I am enjoying some yummy chocolate, Mark summer sausage and the girls new sweaters, candy and books!
And I beg all of my American friends to not allow their children to grow up not knowing the difference between Slovakia and Portugal and while your at it explain to them that Africa is a huge continent not a country! Go ahead, be bold and tell them about the whole big world out there! Someday, some one's Christmas benefit because of it:)
And now Christmas is finally over for the Portugal Bustrums...

Oh my gosh, could Tirzy get any more excited about Jonah! Too cute. Merry Christmas!
This is too funny. Just for the record, we the Smiths are doing our part to ensure that future Christmases aren't ruined. So far this year the girls have learned the countries of the Middle East, Asia, and Africa - all to cheesy little songs.
