Care package....

A dear friend sent me a care package, yesterday. She is one of my best friends, back in East Texas. I guess she knew I was running out of things to do with Grace, while the weather is a little blustery, cold, and wet.
The package had a CD of Todd Wright "All The Freed". He is the worship leader from our church in Texas. All the songs are written by him. You may have heard one of the songs, "Cross of Christ." (Check out the links to his album at Amazon. You can download the mp3 to these songs!) I was so excited to get his CD. The package also contained everything we needed to make all of these adorable ornaments. All we needed was glue.

Grace LOVES to glue things. So, this was a great activity for her.

The glue has now dried and we will be putting them on the Christmas tree after dinner. I am sure Todd's CD will be playing in the background!





Speaking of care packages. One of my other dear friends sent a great package, last week. It was filled with small and inexpensive gifts, individually wrapped, for Grace. There were 12 gifts - one for each of the 12 days of Christmas. It has been great for Grace to have something to look forward to, each day. There were even a couple of items wrapped for me. What a great idea and a real treat for us.

So, thank you Jimette and Cathy. You are both treasures and each package made Texas feel not so far away.
