Christmas Tidings from London to Long Island

Annabella (my daughter who is pictured above) received a wonderful gift this Christmas from her godfather, Ian who lives all the way in London, England. 
It was on the night of Christmas Eve that we heard a knock at the door.  We rose from our seats at the kitchen table and went to see what was going on outside.  I opened the door and saw three brown packages, delivered by Fed Ex.  We peeled the tape on the largest box and revealed a royal blue bag with something inside. It was the pretty pink princess house pictured above!! A palace for modern day princesses!
I thought, who could this be from?  Low and behold it was a Christmas gift sent all the way from London, England to my daughter on Long Island.  Ian wanted to be sure that Annabella knew he was thinking of her on the first Christmas of his godfather-hood so he went on the computer and picked out a gift to send her.
We are so lucky to live in a time where we can stay in touch with the people we love over the holidays or at any time.  Whether through the computer or a letter or visiting these people by way of a jet plane - it is wonderful that we can stay so connected.
