We wanted to find little rubber duckies
but ended up with frogs instead ...
One for each Spa Basket.
They went well with the box of
frog soaps that I found when we pulled
out our soap stuff.
We also got each of them a pen.
For the fun of it.
These 4 go to the Grubs and Bali.
Shi's and Miya's.
Gifts stacked up.
Some of these were removed and taken to the Papa party.
Kendra was still making necklaces.
And then somebody dropped off a large bag
of gifts at Rhoda's church for us.
We don't know who.
Rhoda was given a name,
but it wasn't one she recognized
and the phone is fuzzy so she wasn't sure
if she heard right.
Packages were marked "from Jesus".
Totally unexpected.
Total blessing.
So Kendra "hung us a tree".
There still wasn't room for a proper one,
but I hadn't cut up the garland yet.
A project that Mom helped me get the parts for 4 years ago.
Some more of Joel's elf work.
LaRue LOVES my water bottle.
Then she was giggling and realized it made an echo.
And she sang and giggled and talked ...
and then I washed my water bottle.
After all, she was also eating cheerios.
Finally, about 11pm,
she decided that she was going to help
Joel with his projects.
I let her play with it all
for nearly an hour.
And took care of some thing I needed to get done
but it's not easy with a baby on your lap!
