Snail Mail that is not a bill!

I got an envelope in the mail from my sister-in-law today.  I'll admit, at first I was a little confused because I wasn't expecting anything.  Isn't it sad that you never "expect" to get anything good in the mail?  But I eagerly opened it anyway, because it was from Ann, so I didn't think it would be anything bad!  And here is what I found:

Artwork from both of my nephews!  John got this paper for Christmas and I think I was more excited about it than he was.  The day I was leaving, I finally got him to sit down and work on a page with me.  The kit he got even came with stencils so it was even more cool.  When we were finished with the picture, he gave it to Grandma.  I tried really hard not to be jealous or claim it as my own, since I had worked on it too! :)  I asked John if he would work on another one for me, but he was tired of doing art and wanted to do something else.  So, I suggested that it would be fun if he made me one sometime and sent it to me in the mail.  And that is what I got today!  With a bonus picture from Michael.  Michael is very into tracing hands right now :).  And if you look closely at John's picture, you can see he drew a turtle.  I haven't gotten a single piece of artwork from him that hasn't included a turtle in several years.  Because he knows I like turtles.  And I might add, he is very good at drawing them!

Thanks John and Michael!  You made my day!  Snail mail from my nephews will definitely go into my blessings jar tonight!
