Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Making Santa

We have had some oatmeal boxes waiting in the wings for a few weeks.  Waiting to be made into Santa.  Grandma Suzanney made these when Kelley was a kid.  Now she started helping the kids make their Santas out of the same tall, round boxes.

When we cleaned up the table for dinner, the boxes were not yet finished Santas.  Grandma Suzanney said something about Mommy helping the kids finish, but the boxes are waiting patiently on the kitchen counter for her to come back and finish what she started with the kids.  After all, she was the original creative genius behind this idea and having completed some in the past is the best source for helping finish the design of these.  :)

Visit with Santa and Mrs. Claus

Little River was hosting a fundraiser pancake breakfast this morning to help a boy with leukemia.  The kids were thrilled to go out for breakfast and get pancakes, but then even more excited when we arrived and saw that Santa was at the breakfast!

Only Chloe got to sit on Santa's lap, but I think Owen was happy with hugs from Mrs. Claus.

They were both thrilled to be given candy canes.

And Santa thought it was great that their wishes for Christmas were really just a trip to the North Pole to see his elves and reindeer.
