Twas the morning before Christmas and all through the house
No one was home because one of the foster kids had a visit.
Just rolls off the tongue, am I right? 🤣
I am wrong. Anyway.
This morning, we got up as a family, had a quick breakfast, and loaded up into the van! One of our little ones had a family visit today, so we dropped off mid-morning and headed out to run a few errands. Christmas errands, lol! In jammies, as has become our new theme.
Coffee ✅
Bringing our friend, Scott, a birthday gift and a Christmas card ✅
Picking up Tupperware ✅
Shopping for dressy winter footwear ✅
Back to the visit for pickup! I have a really nice relationship with this particular mom, so I lingered a little bit and waited for one of the other kids to be picked up, as their worker was running a little late. We always have a nice little send off and walk to the van together. It was nice. And oddly somewhat heartbreaking, knowing that this was their Christmas. But I’m glad they got it at all 💜
Then it went home – lunch – naps!
Final loose ends are tying up.
Others are wrapping their gifts.
The driveway is scraped very clean.
Another round of party mix is made.
Labelled the end of the Christmas cards.
I think I’m about tapped for what I have to do today. I think.
Tonight, the gifts come out!
Oh. Yes. That. I also have to do that today.
