Look what I found....




I got so excited when I saw these boxes of Cracker Jacks in red, white, and blue! I don't know about you, but I grew up eating these. It was a treat my mom bought often and I loved the little prize inside. When I got older she sent boxes to me in care packages at college and later often stuck them in packages for Birthdays or Christmas for all her grandkids. I decided to buy some for my kids and tied some of the wide striped ribbon around them with a little tag...I can't wait to see if they remember getting them from their Grandma!

  4. I remember these when I was a little girl... I still purchase a box when I get pick up groceries!

    This is when our mom would buy us a box... if we were good kids when shopping she rewarded us with a box of Cracker Jacks or Animal Crackers!!
