Christmas preparations

Tomorrow is Ezra's last day at school for about 2 weeks. In the evening, they will have a Christmas play where he is the wise man (ha!). He knows his line well, but says it really fast. Followthestartheresanewkingintown.

Today and this evening, I am working on those little gifts that mothers think we have to give all the children in our child's class. It's okay, and I have had fun making 36 frog and turtle soaps with plastic flies inside. The flies were Ezra's idea. Then, my mom, bless her, made some lip balm from sample flavor oils that were sent to her. I'll give those too.

The big surprise tomorrow will be for the teachers and workers at CMO. The parents all pooled their money together to be able to get each teacher a $50 Target gift card. The floater will get a $20 gift card with some O My Soap items. And the director will get a really nice O My Soap gift basket. I am so thankful to all the parents who pulled through and gave generously. I had the goal of $50 in my head and prayed for it. And, well, God came through.

Okay, here's the pic I took of Ezra before his play. He was the best wiseman (in my opinion) and said his line beautifully! Thanks for reminding me to post Ezra's pic, Aimee!
