Somehow we felt happy

We have some nieces and nephews.
The other day, one of our nieces gave us a souvenir from her school trip. This was our first experience of something like that! (We don’t have any kids, so we haven’t received any souvenirs from school trips.) We didn’t expect it at all so we were surprised. It showed good taste, and also tasted good.

And one of our nephews gave us a lift to the JR station near my parents’ house after our New Year’s visit this year.

For them, they probably did those things casually without any special meaning, but, for us, they were very new and unusual things. That makes sense, doesn’t it?
