This is who Secret Santa came to see tonight....
WOW! I was in tears over this one!
I worked all day with other stressers in life and came home to one of my best friends. She was cooking homemade Chili and had warm homemade Honey wheat bread.
There was a surprise to my face to see a Christmas Tree Standing in my living room. My friends from OH and support group have filled my heart. This is a really rough time for me, being a single mom but everyone has really been a fabulous support. I am almost speechless......... I want to THANK EVERYONE that was involved with this. I don't need to know who did this but THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart and Gabriella's.
I want you to know that me and Gabby will be helping others in need on Sunday at the Baltimore Woman's Shelter. We will be cooking at the shelter, handing out Teddy Bears for the children, singing and playing with the children. I will be thinking of all of you, cause you have helped me. It is only right that me and my daughter give back to others that are in need in the holiday season.
A special Thanks to Terri, Ben and Jonathan for a wonderful dinner.
Again Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Hugs Kristen
This was the letter on my tree

Me and my girl

Gabby ready for bed, being silly and she had to hug her tree before she went to bed.

Happy tears I hope!! Only those allowed. ;o) Have a great holiday season. I think what you and your daughter are doing this weekend is WONDERFUL! I am doing my 7th Annual Caroling for Coats Drive to collect coats for kids this winter. I also have been collecting food the last two months for the Anne Arundel County Food Bank , The Annapolis Lighthouse Shelter and local churches who have so many starving families. Gosh that just breaks my heart. What makes me mad is that there are so many others out there who CAN HELP whether it be volunteering or donating and they chose not to at all. It is sad. They chose to look down at those who are in need. Good for you and Gabby ...what goes around always comes back around. Or as my Mom always says "When you give with your heart you get back in abundance!".
