Yesterday I received two fun packages from Netflix and DreamWorks Animation. I received these because I am part of the Netflix #StreamTeam group and as such occasionally received awesome stuff. These packages are no exception. They are both fantastic. First was a set of Netflix and Grill equipment so that I could make great food for the family.
