Thank you so much for all of the thoughtful gift cards, ornaments, treats, kind holiday wishes, and especially my beautiful tree! I'm looking forward to yummy treats and putting all of those gift cards to use!
Getting into the holiday spirit, your kind, compassionate children brainstormed all kinds of different ways they can "light up the world with kindness". In the grand tradition of not getting the lights down until well into January (February?), I think these should stay up on the wall outside our room for a while. :-) Thankfully yours, Emily Larson
