Leaving the MTC Fiesta

Okay this is my number one, all time favorite package I've sent Cody (so far). Cody's district has 12 elders, huge right? They are the biggest district in the MTC and everyone calls them "The Twelve". Coincidence? Haha just kidding.

Anyways Cody has had a lot of fun with these guys and they have had a great connection. I thought they all deserved a little party to celebrate their last P-Day in the MTC. So in honor of Cody leaving for Mexico I sent these boys a Fiesta in a Box. 

I found this printable to make 12 "minionaries" haha they're adorable! You just wrap them around twinkies and draw on a face they turn out adorable. You can find them here. This will connect you to the blog I found them on. 

Here's what my minionaries look like...

Next I added a dozen Mountain Dew bottles. If you know me or my mom there's always a way to make things cute. So we made little ties and laminated them. Then we tied the to string and wrapped them around the "necks". I think they turned out pretty cute. 

Yes, I know missionaries don't wear bow ties but they looked really cute on the bottles and I think they'd look even cuter on missionaries but I don't think that will ever happen...

Missionaries love chips and salsa. It's kind of a stereotypical package item but it's a classic fiesta food. 

Next I bought 12 mustaches. I seriously love this haha. They better have taken pictures! 

I'm sure they were the most excited to get the little ping pong set. It has a net and everything! You can get this at Target by clicking here. I'm sure they'll have lots of fun with this. 

One thing I always add to Cody's packages are quotes to put in his scriptures. So I printed out twelve copies of this. I found it on Pinterest but don't know who made it. I'm not claiming credit for this printable. 

I bought lots of candy and 12 of those little popper things that you just pull the string and it explodes. You can get those at any party store. They're really fun! 

I wrote a letter to "The Twelve" wishing them luck and thanking them for taking care of Cody. But I wanted to test their progress so I wrote the whole thing in Spanish. (Insert smirking emoji) But seriously if they can't read that basic Spanish I'm really worried about them... Good luck elders!

Last I added a Baja Blast for Cody a long with a letter for him and his favorite candy. I wanted to make him still feel special. I'm sure the other elders will tease him relentlessly. 

I sent him a "Leaving the MTC" package that was all for him on Friday. I'll post about that next. :)

Here's the rest of the pictures. Btw this box weighed 22 lbs from all the food haha. They better have enjoyed it!
