A Christmas Container

When the container we shipped to Chad in August left, we were told it could take 6 months to 2 years to ??? amount of time to arrive at it's destination of our home in Chad.  We were more than thrilled to hear a recent update that the container should arrive before or around Christmas this year.  This is exciting news to someone who didn't really pack many Christmas presents in our luggage.  Well the reports were true, and so James and another friend went to meet our 40 foot container here in the capitol as they unloaded half of it here before sending the other half on further east to where we will be living.  This Christmas we will be opening the biggest package we have ever gotten, and we couldn't be happier (It even arrived before it was anticipated).  James was able to take a few shots of it arriving and being unloaded which was nice since the rest of our family didn't get to experience it firsthand. Everything seems to have arrived intact and the only problem is that our family's things are packaged in a large wooden box being held together by 40+ screws and we have no power tools.  I know what the kids will be doing in their spare time.
