Friday Date Night, and Wilbur updates

Oh my , it is with a heavy heart that I am even doing this post this evening. Please join me in prayer for all those people whose lives were shattered this morning in the awful shooting at the elementary school.  I can not imagine the grief of those precious parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and all the friends who know these families personally.  How do we shield and explain this awful situation to our own children and grandchildren?  One of our local radio announcers said to be prepared.. How does one prepare for such a horrid act of murder?  But I know life goes on and by the grace of God these families will move forward, but their lives will never be the same.  Please lets remember them daily and let this make us even more thankful when we can hold and tell our own children and grandchildren how much we love them.

And speaking of Children, Darbee Rae was having a Christmas party tonight. And of course Nana and Papa was invited.  She was so excited.  Can you tell?

 

She was waiting for all her friends to arrive.  They were all wearing their p.j.'s and were doing Christmas crafts, decorating cookies, and making reindeer food.

 

All the kids arrived and were busy at the table, and there was a knock at the door.. Everyone was there already,but Darbee Rae ran to the door... Another friend???

 

 

 

Oh my Gosh, I think it is Santa!!  For once Darbee Rae was speechless.  

 

 

But not for long!!

 

 

Santa quickly got every one's attention.

 

 

Remember Cooper from Darbee Rae's birthday party?  He brought her roses.  Well he told Santa he and Darbee Rae were getting married.  Santa was at loss for words. {hehe}

 

 

Will not show more of the party so that Holly can share it with you since most of you follow her blog also.  She did an awesome job and it was so much fun.

 

Now on to Wilbur.  That silly elf has really been busy.  Just look where he was found one day this week.

 

 

Yep, had his shovel and was shoveling reindeer poop!!   Darbee Rae just loved this one.  And guess what prize he left for her?.  Hand Sanitizer.  Smart elf, huh?

 

And this morning this is where she found him.

 

 

Guess he got cold and since the electric fireplace was not on in the bedroom, he made his own fire.  Yep, from wood shavings and my prim candle.  Does this mean he might turn out to be a prim elf?  Darbee Rae loved this one and couldn't wait to tell Papa that Wilbur had been into his wood pile stash. 

 

Well on such a sad night when our hearts are heavy, I hope this post has brought a smile to your face and a little joy in your heart.

Until next time, hug those you love and take time to enjoy each day we are blessed with.
