Parties and Random Acts of Kindness

 Elli's kindergarten class at the Christmas party vbfore break.  Santa visited them and he remembered seeing Elli last year when she was at the preschool.  Elli was quite impressed:)

 Love her smile!

 She wanted to go shopping with me to get our family ornament.  We went to the Dayton Mall, got our ornament and went to Chik-fil-A.  Elli saw a little boy and ran to give him her new toy from her kids meal.  I told her it was sweet, but another lady saw her do it, came to our table, and said, "That was a very sweet thing you just did.  Here is a gift card ($10) so you can come back and enjoy lunch with your mommy again."  I told Elli was not that common to have two such kind people, herself included, in one day.  Then, we played with dogs where we both fell in love with this little yorkie:)

 The next day, Sat, Dec. 17, Ava had a Pinkalicious birthday party to celebrate turning 5.

 All the girls getting ready for cake!

What  fun couple of days.
