About the time that the kids were halfway through opening their gifts on Christmas morning, Julianna stood up and handed me this:
You see, her Mama never did get around to taking the poor baby and her little brother shopping this year the way her older brothers got to do. I know. I stink. So she was forced to go on her own resourcefulness:
It doesn't get ANY better than that, I promise you. Even the gift card to my favorite restaurant with free babysitting didn't hold a candle.
But that's just my $.20 worth,
P.S. I hope every single one of you had a Mare Crsmes.

oh, oh, I love that. How very sweet-I can see why it is your favourite gift. I am sure you will tuck that one away to treasure!
That one's a keeper for sure!
(Are you sure she didn't go to the Target that had the Valentines out before Christmas?!)
That is so sweet! Thanks for sharing about your loving children!
BTW, I wish that every budding pianist could have a piano teacher like ours. God has truly blessed us and I pray that He will draw her to faith in His Son!
That is just TOO much.
My daughter used beads that they earn in class to buy us and my parents gifts. And she used points that she earns at church to buy me and her brother gifts. I love it when they do it on their own. TOO sweet.
I don't know--I just came from Wowmart, and the Valentine's stuff was already out--maybe she slipped out and drove there without your knowledge.
How adorable!! Her thoughtfulness and kind heart says a lot about her mommy too :-)

Well, that made me a bit weepy. Children and their generosity when it comes to things that we tend to hold onto so tightly ($$) make me all ooey-gooey inside.
I loves you, too.
So sweet.
