Hello my fine friends! This past week has been a little bit stressful. So, to say the least, the infamous "Hess Family Care Package" I received on Saturday was more than appreciated!I wanted to share a little bit about this Hess family tradition. I have been lucky enough to be a part of a family that, well, gets along. We do many things together! Whether it be baking hundreds of cookies with all the aunts around Christmas, or spending a weekend away with the uncles to visit a cousin's college - we do it all.
A tradition that started before my freshman year is to send all of the neices/nephews/cousins a care package about 4 times a year. There are 10 of us kids total in the family, but every year the number of care packages change based on who is in college! So, because Katlin is now an old working woman - she is off the list.
So, what you may ask, do these packages entail? ANYTHING and EVERYTHING. I have received things such as candy & food, chapstick & tissues, towels & toothpaste, and ALWAYS cookies & cash.
This is my public thank you to my mom and dad, my aunts and uncles, my cousins and the other sister Kelly. I know it is always a challenge figuring out new things to put into the boxes and I am sure it gets a bit expensive! My roomates are always shocked when I get one. You never cease to surprise me with what I receive! Thank you, it is always appreciated :)
Stay Tuned!
