It's The Most Busiest Time of the Year!

Wow! I can't believe it is already Dec. 8th & this is the 1st Dec. blogpost, but we have been super busy! Since I last posted we have (short list):

--taken a vacation from work to have a stay-cation at home
--babysat nephew Tripp
--Christmas shopped
--repainted entry doors
--ran over Ellie's new "Heniz" puppy named Ruby
--catched the movie "Tangled" (super cute - Ellie recommended)
--had Christmas at the TN Bapt Children's Home
--enjoyed some Business Open Houses
--prepared for Christmas parties

I'll have a slew of posts at one time - when I find the time, but I wanted to share a funny conversation that Ellie & I had yesterday that reminded me to focus on more on CHRISTmas rather than Christmas. The story goes ...

I pick up Ellie from her preschool & we are jamming to KLOVE radio on the way to the babysitters. Out of the blue she stops singing and asks:

Ellie: "Mom, what do you think the Lord looks like?"
Me: "I don't know Ellie. No one knows what he looks like. We won't see Him until we get to Heaven."
Ellie: "Humm... I think He might look like Mickey Mouse. You know, like on the Disney Channel when they draw Mickey's head in the corner of the tv w/ the magic wand."
Me: (trying not to laugh and savor the moment) "Well, I guess he could have a head shaped like Mickey. We really don't know."

Apparently (a.) the child is able to see in the future (b.) has an inquisitive, creative mind or (c.) watches waaaayyy to much Disney channel.

I have laughed so hard at the conversation and her thoughts. And, from the mouth of a Babe to put this crazy life into perspective.
