Sister Shoebox Swap - Noel

This is a post from Sara's mom, Sheila. Since I do not have a blog myself, Sara has been gracious enough to let me post an entry regarding a shoebox swap I participated in hosted by Monica of The Homespun Heart and Carrie of With All that I've Been Given. Thank you Sara! Please bear with me as this is my first blog post!


The theme of the swap was Noel. My swap partner was Agnes. I had had a particularly bad week - I came down with shingles (no fun!), but still had regular work and mom duties. So I was so very happy when Friday came. Fridays are my days off, and my kids attend a 4-day a week school, so they are off on Fridays as well. We had NO plans - sometimes that is such a blessing! In addition, we were experiencing a few days of 70 degree weather in Colorado in November! It was already a good day, but then I went to the mailbox and my shoebox had arrived! As I opened the box and examined what Agnes had sent, I felt so blessed by the thought and care she had put into the items she included. She really thought about me, and included items that I can both use and enjoy. My two daughters agreed to model some of the items for me.



A backpack for trips to the gym. The really cool thing about this backpack is that it's also perfect for our summer bike rides. We frequently ride to the next town (about 8 miles over) and have a snack there and come back home. I need something small that I can use for a little cash and a couple other items, and this will be perfect because I can wear it while riding! (Special thanks for our lovely model Sara, my 13 year old daughter.)











I love these Christmas bells! (This lovely model is my 9-year-old daughter, Maisie.)






Next up, some St. Nicholas cookies. One bite, and they said 'Yum!'.




I truly love the framed Noel, and the little bell candle is just the cutest thing!

Some lovely writing paper, shower gel, angel ornament (special!), and a pattern for sewing. I enjoy sewing when I get the chance. As my kids get older, I'm having more time to do it, and it's been so nice to be able to resume an old hobby.




And I saved a special item for last. Agnes included items and a history for making a King's cake. This will be a special activity to enjoy with my girls.






Thank you Agnes, for this wonderful gift. I appreciate your time and thoughtfulness so much. Thank you, Monica and Carrie, for hosting!

SNOW DAY!!!!

Hi! Guess what? Today we had a snow day!! It was really pretty. Here are the pictures my Mom took.

This picture is where Anya ran around in circles! She was really excited for snow. The snow started Tuesday night and is still falling. The longest it ever stopped was about two hours!

The snow sort of blurred this pic but I still think it is pretty!

That is our backyard.

See ya!
