Today we opened a package from @grandpa-pepper and Grandma!

---

We actually received it over the weekend, but weren’t sure if we should open it. It was a large package, and Pinkie-Pepper will be turning seven this next weekend, so we thought that maybe it was a birthday present. Well, there was a present in it too, but @grandpa-pepper asked us if we opened it yet on steemit, so we figured that we had better.

It took the @little-peppers very little time to make their way into the package once @papa-pepper gave them the green light.

---

Inside were all sorts of wonderful surprises!

---

Each of the @little-peppers got their own strange, squishy, flashing animal toy!

---

And they each got a new article of clothing!

---

STICKERS TOO!

---

A letter for each child was included too, with messages from both Grandma and @grandpa-pepper. @papa-pepper read the letter for most of the @little-peppers, but Pinkie-Pepper read her own.

---

Along with the letters were also some amazing photos. @grandpa-pepper wrote the following about the photos above:

In Mexico I caught a live starfish. It would use little suction cups to attach to my hand.

---

There was also this photo of a large lizard in Mexico. @grandpa-pepper told Monster Truck the Pepper:

We saw some big lizards in Mexico on the rocks. I took a picture but did not try to catch one.

---

We thought that he send us a photo of a dead bird in the snow. It looked like a woodpecker had crashed into a window and landed in the snow. Thankfully, although it had crashed, it didn’t actually die.

Yesterday, a woodpecker flew into our front window and landed in the snow. I took a picture of it and after a little while it flew away.

---

This interesting photo is all that is left of a man made out of snow. @grandpa-pepper told Sweet-Pepper the following about it:

Did you see the picture of the melted snowman? It was so warm for a while that he melted completely away.

---

We will see what @grandpa-pepper does with his brand new, shiny steemit account, but he already made his introduction post linked here.

---

With his interesting adventures to Mexico and other places, and his great stories to tell, he sure could make some excellent posts to share his adventures and use tags like “adventure”, “travel”, “nature”, “photo”, “animals”, “life” or whatever else may be appropriate. Since he can use up to five tags per post, perhaps you will be able to find some soon from him in some of the categories.

@grandpa-pepper is also very good at writing stories, so maybe he’ll post some that @papa-pepper can read to the @little-peppers for quite time or bedtime.

---

Sweet-Pepper was also excited about the gum that they sent down.

---

And Pinkie-Pepper got her birthday present, but she will wait for her real birthday this weekend when @truconspiracy comes down to visit us.

Thanks so much for the wonderful package Grandma and @grandpa-pepper, and for all of your love and encouragement. We look forward to seeing you soon!
