Here we are to week number two of our RAOK Christmas countdown! And we are loving it more and more each day! Charlot loves opening an envelope every night!
Monday- Day 7, Charlot was supposed to choose one of her books to give to a friend. She decided to pick two and she also chose her friend Molly to be the recipient of the books!
Tuesday- Day 8, we left a dollar and a note on the soda machines outside our local grocery store! This was so fun because we had several people tell us they saw this and it sure made them smile for the day!
Wednesday-Day 9, Ding Dong Ditch! Charlot loved running up Telpha's (she got to choose the ditcher), door and leaving the box by the door. Oh and I have no words for the face!
Thursday-Day 10, leaving treats for the trash men, we also left them a note thanking them for helping keep our tiny town clean
Friday- Day 11, Charlot got to pick out her favorite house in town for Christmas decorations, she picked the same one last year. But we really do love this house, it's so festive! I loved watching her walk up to their door so big to leave a box of cookies for them!
Now the next two days I don't have pictures to go with but we did our RAOK!
Saturday- Day 12, we went to dinner in Glasgow and we had to get a little help from our waitress to pull this off. Charlot was ready with card in had and she was so big when she ask the waitress to help her. She asked her to choose a family to give the card to and tell the we wanted to buy dessert for them. The waitress was so sweet and told us she would love to. The family she chose thanked us from across the room then they came over and gave Charlot a little money for her piggy bank. This was so sweet!
Sunday- Day 13, Charlot was supposed to go give hot cocoa to some of the bell ringers in town, well it was a bit of a monsoon yesterday. So to say the least there were no bell ringers to be found. She was so worried that she wasn't doing anything I told her not to worry we could do it another day. But my kiddo didn't take that for an answer. After nap I see her with all kinds of art supplies, paper, colors, scissors, tape, they whole gang was there. I finally had to ask her what she was doing... She says " my act of kindness, I'm making a birthday card for Jesus, so we can mail it to heaven." Oh my heart be still.
Hope all of you are getting prepared for Christmas. How are your countdowns going?
