A Time of Giving

Kate and I made and decorated cookies to take to the neighbors. Did you notice that her teeth are blue in this picture? That's because she ate several handfuls of sprinkles. The funny part is that she didn't eat a single cookie! Tonight we made our rounds delivering cookies (and dog bones that Kate picked out at the pet store specifically for the dogs we see on our walks) to the neighbors' houses. At our penultimate stop, our sweet neighbor said, "Oh! I have something for you too! I'm sorry it's not wrapped yet." She brought four little books for James and a stuffed dog for Kate. She knows that Kate loves dogs and that we can't have one because we're renting. The whole thing made my night. I love this time of year.
