Lily Grace was beyond excited to wake Saturday morning and find Bob downstairs. He had set a festive breakfast table and left us a large Gingerbread kit. Bob had woven himself into our dining chandelier and Lily Grace thought it was hilarious. According to her, 'Bob expertly wove himself in there."
Bob didn't stop there. He really dazzled up the kitchen sliders with bows everywhere. We also found a wonderful story, The Sparkle Box. It's a beautiful story about the true meaning of Christmas and serving Christ by serving others.
Saturday not only marked the arrival of Bob, but also marked the end of the 6 week period Lily Grace had to wait to change out her earrings for the first time. She was beyond excited. Daddy and I surprised her by letting her open two boxes from under the tree. Each contained a new pair of earrings. She picked the butterflies and we changed them out.
Bob even got in on the earring action Sunday morning when we woke to find him in our Christmas tree wearing a most colorful pair of earrings. Too funny! He also left something for Gracie that she's been looking forward to, her letter from Santa.
What a special weekend with memories made. These are the times I cherish.

| She was so worried about not being able to change out her earrings because she didn't have any. She couldn't figure out why daddy and I weren't more concerned or understanding of this fact. Little did she know that Matt and I were just as excited for her. We already had two new pair that we purchased shortly after she had her ears pierced. |
