He never received them and TODAY I just got the package back! I can’t believe it! Almost 2 years! I think it made it over seas then got sent back. It says on the package “incoming international parcel” Wow.   Saturday, March 6 View Page Indoor pumpkin update! I certainly didn’t expect her to get this big with only 1 light.
