Sonlight Reader Box Day!!

Looks like with all the excitement around here I'll be posting things a bit out of order.  You see, we already had our Box Day but I needed the advanced readers.  I placed an order on Dec. 31.  Yes you read that right, Dec. 31, and we got them on Jan 7!  Which I think is pretty impressive considering there was a holiday in there!  So this is what a smaller Sonlight Box Day looks like and in the next couple of days I'll post what a "reusing" Box Day looks like.

The moment of happiness has arrived!  Sadly, I missed when "The Fed EX Guy" came to the door because my phone was OFF!  I have no idea why so I had to turn it on pronto for the pics.  

I have no idea why he chose to put his foot on it but it gives a good size comparison.  This is where the begging began for one of them to be able to have the honor of opening it. I decided that would not be a good idea just "in case" there were books close to the seam.

This is what you first see...oh the anticipation!

and then the free for all of raiding the box.  Unfortunately it happened so fast that the shots are fuzzy.  

and a favorite was picked.

and the realization that THIS was the book I've been waiting for!  Since it's fuzzy it's Henry and Ribsy.

Because a box makes a swank hat apparently.

and the stack of goodies!

And then it was mayhem as I got the orange labels attached and the realization that I was NOT going to let them start reading them until next week.  They didn't know the reader they were reading on the kindle WAS this weeks book!  It's now the end of the week and my younger son exclaimed on the last page of his reader, "I READ ALL OF IT!!".  Oh the sweet joy of reading!
