What a gift!!

 

My friend Missy sent this to me for Christmas.

Sending me Jelly Belly Jelly Beans is like sending a crack addict, well, lots of crack.

But...

....this gift?

Is. The. Best. Gift. EVER.

I told myself that i wasn't going to open the box of Jelly Bellys. That i was going to wait; "wait" for what, i don't know. Of course, i only lasted one second about 5 minutes before i had RIPPED opened my gift.

FIFTY INDIVIDUAL FLAVORS.

Oh. My.

Yes, it was like love at first bite sight.

Of course, at that very moment, Emma decides to toddle up asking "wat dat?"....and i, being the safe Mommy because Jelly Beans aren't safe for a two year old, slam the top back on so she can't see my crack Jelly Beans.

Lucky for me, bed time for Emma was right around the corner.

After Emma is safely tucked in, i sit on the couch in front of the TV with my gift. I realize that there is a 'recipe' of sorts included, where you can mix different Jelly Beans to get different flavors. How smart of the Jelly Belly folks!

~Blueberry Jelly Belly + Buttered Popcorn Jelly Belly = Blueberry Muffin
~Strawberry Jam Jelly Belly + French Vanilla Jelly Belly = Strawberry Shortcake
~Lemon/Lime Jelly Belly + Lime Sunkist Jelly Belly = Sprite

sigh....i was in sugar heaven-high for quite a while. :)

Oh, yes, that was a FANTASTIC gift!

Thank you, Missy....you're the BESTEST friend ever!
