The day the Bump died - Jasper is wise
A Tale of Two Packages - A GIF Story

Merry Christmas ladies! I thought I would share with you a GIF story that has to do with shipping presents from my SIL.
Mr. Bug and I cannot go home this year and are spending a quiet Christmas together.
We did our shopping, wrapped our presents, and shipped everything to the ILs.
We got a call from my SIL. Could she please just have the stores she is ordering my present and Mr. Bug's present sent direct to us? Would we wrap each others when they arrive? It will be easy! Mr. Bug's is from Puma and yours is from the Rack.
Sure! That sounds simple enough and it will save on shipping!
I await the packages and nothing arrives and then one day, a box is delivered! Actually two! Both from Macys? I'm confused.
We call the SIL to see what is up. Apparently she accidentally had the gift from the Rack sent to herself and she decided she did not like it. So, she ordered something different for me from Macys and then also got something for me and Mr. Bug. Could we still wrap them?
I know what! I'll just wrap both unopened shipping boxes and shove them under the tree. Mr. Bug and I can figure it all out on Christmas.
And then we received another box from Macys.
Apparently, the SIL decided she did not like one of the gifts she sent to us - so she ordered something different. Could Mr. Bug please open the two that contain the orders for me and decide which one he likes best?
And could we please also return one of them for her?
Who ships presents and tells the person to return it? My SIL. It's a running joke in the family that she likes to go back to stores and return things and I'm thinking that having her ship direct to us probably was not a good idea - I've been through a drive through with her and it generally results in her re-ordering and changing things by the time she gets to window #1 and then more changes at window #2
But I digress . . .
Mr. Bug is looking at all three boxes, one of which has a gift that is also for him. He has no idea which ones are okay for him to open.
So, we wrapped that one and shoved it under the tree also.
Problem solved and a GIF story for my beautiful ladies on this Christmas Eve.

Anyway... I do hope you come back and update us on what the gifts are! I also hope you keep them all
@Nikolle93 - If I like both, I'll probably just send my SIL money for one of them.
She's now researching where in the world is Mr. Bug's gift. I'm really worried that will result in more boxes
