Catching Up!

It has been a while since I have posted, but there have been some noteworthy things going on this December!Even though she wasn't dressed yet, Madelyn didn't want to be left out of the picture fun!

This is the morning of Taylor and Emma's Christmas program! They looked so nice!

What a handsome boy!

Emma looked and felt just a princess! Her and I had a neat experience that day. A friend from school called me that morning and said there were two little girls at the school who were crying because they didn't have a dress to wear for the program. I guess their mom had left a couple months before and it was just Dad at home and they didn't have dress clothes. I quickly gathered a few dresses and some tights and socks and ran them up to the school. The second grader's teacher said all the girl's in her class told her she looked just like a princess and the kindergartener's teacher said she said she had never felt anything so soft on her legs regarding the tights. So the program went great and the girls were so pleased. One of the dresses didn't fit Emma anymore, but the other was one of her newer favorite dresses. I leaned over to her and asked her if she thought we could give the girls the dresses as a Christmas gift . She was fine about the one she had grown out of, but really struggling about the one that still fit her. I told her it was her decision. She thought about it and then agreed with me so we went up to the girls and told them they could keep the dresses. Our friend later told us they were so happy with the gift. I wanted to record this for Emma's sake. We are always looking for ways to teach our children about the true meaning of Christmas and I am so grateful that this opportunity came along for Emma and me. It was a special day for us both!!
