A Trip

Some traditions were made when the kiddos were younger.  I know they’ll stop at some point.  But, sometimes it’s still fun to keep them around.

The kiddos have put their letters in to Santa’s mailbox at night so that we can see the Christmas lights for years now.  Molly started coming with us several years ago.  The kids write a letter to Santa from Molly and she gets a turn mailing her letter as well.

The kids are getting older now, but they still were on board with mailing their letters this year!  So, of course we brought Molly.  I didn’t cry.  I was very proud that I didn’t cry.  I am praying that Molly makes it until after Christmas; although I’m not sure.  She tires out so easily now a days.  Our trip tonight completely exhausted her.  But she was a trooper!

Tonight I am thankful for a trip to Santa’s mailbox tonight.  It’s hard knowing it was a last trip for our Molly-girl.  I don’t know if we’ll go next year.  I don’t know if the kids will even want to.  But for tonight, I’m glad that Molly got to come one last time.  (P.S.  We went thru McDonald’s and Molly got a chicken nugget snack to make her trip even more fun!)
