the last care package of the year...that sounds so bizarre. really the last package of the year? i'm so very thankful that this year has flown by and hopefully we will only be sending one more care package or none at all come next year. there were so many other things we wanted to add to Oliver's Christmas care package but we didn't want to over do it and we had to be mindful of our limited space. this care package is different then the other seven that we've sent. this one was hand delivered by a very special neighbor and friend of ours who just happened to be traveling to Seoul last week on business. we selected everything with care...
a large designer purse and super soft scarf for Oliver's sweet foster mother...
yummy salted caramels from t.joes for the whole family to enjoy...
a flirty clutch for each of his foster sisters which included three burts bee's lipsticks and a fun red wallet....
a chocolate bar from w. foods and a set of mini note cards to the Holt employee who helped arrange
our friend's delivery....
as for Oliver
we sent him (and his family) an advent calender...
an easy to use tooth brush and tooth paste for his 8 tiny little teeth...
car keys that make all sorts of fun sounds...i'm sure his foster mother will love us for sending these....
sippy cups for our big boy who is drinking from his own cup...
a plush and cuddly reindeer (to add to the collection of stuffed animals we've sent)...
a couple pairs of animal socks which i also ended up buying a size up so that he would have a set here at home...they were too cute to not have at home too!
warm clothes like a new fleece outfit and long sleeve shirt...
a comfy hat with ear flaps and a cozy plum.tree.studio scarf....
two pairs of Christmas pjs..again how could i not get these for next year too?
and lastly...our second recordable book. you may remember we did one for his birthday back in August. the picture we included in this book is from our Seattle trip.
Merry Christmas to the most amazing Foster Family we could ask for!
and
a very special Merry Christmas to our most precious gift of all....
Oliver Yu-hyeon. We love you so much!!!

What a beautiful package you're sending, Dana. How wonderful you and your family are to do this for Ollie and his foster family. Happy Holidays! Love, Leslie xo
it looks awesome! And I love that you have the next size up for later too. Another connection. So glad you were able to send this through a friend which makes it extra sweet.
What a great care package! It's so special that you're able to send these to your sweet boy and to the wonderful family caring for him.
nay, what a wonderful christmas package for ollie and his foster family! i hope you guys don't need to send any more care packages to south korea!
oh dana...it is very obvious that everything was chosen with so much care and love. you and ben are so very generous. i'm sure the family will be so thrilled with everything you sent. so happy that you had this connection to have it sent....and praying this the the last care package you have to put together. :)
What an amazing care package! Ours is looking pretty pathetic looking back! All of your items are so thoughtful and meaningful.
Oh Dana, this might be the BEST care package ever put together. I especially love what you put together for his foster mother and foster sister. Such thoughtful special gifts that I know took a lot of thought on your part. They will love everything and so will Oliver. It's always special to have someone you know take the package. It means it traveled with a little piece of you. You are so close! I hope this is the very last package you need to send.
what amazing gifts,hand delivered by this wonderful friend. Soon,Oliver will be home with his Mommy & Daddy and family to enjoy!!
Wow. This is just amazing. Amazing!!! I'm so blown away by how much every single item means.
