Finn got his first package from his Uncle Matt & Aunt Katie in the mail last week. Excited does not come close to describing Finn's reaction to this. It took nearly an hour to sort through all the contents of the package. Each item had to be carefully examined and dissected. Inside the box he found confetti, a magnifying glass, a small flash light, foam shapes, a coloring book, 2 Ed Emberley books, READ MORE Finn got his first package from his Uncle Matt & Aunt Katie in the mail last week.
