should we just send you gift cards so you can buy the things on the lists or should we get some of the things on the list and then send them down??

Hi Danny,
Great to hear from you! Either way would be great, but gift cards fit better in an envelope. Did you see Juan Marcos got his operation? Next year he'll be walking well. Praise God. We miss you! - Stacey
