Hi sue my name Is dave and I hope I'm sending this message to right person. You stated you had some boxes that were the kids possions right? So if this is right what my mom and dad would do is everytime I would stop by as I was leaving there was 1 more thing before I left and my parents would come out with a present. The present was a box wrapped in newspaper with my stuff in it. It was not overwhelming for either of us and as they say how do you eat an elephant one bite at a time.
