This week...

What an exciting week ahead.  Just 2 more days until the Make-a-Wish  Red Robin night, Wednesday, December 7 from 5-8 p.m. at 5 KC locations (see previous post for all the details)
If you haven't stopped by the house this year, the lights are different this year.
There are 4 tigers in the display that Eddie crafted himself.

  

Thanks to a surprise gift, Eddie was able to set the lights to music this year.  The light show runs 20 minutes, with a 5 minute break after the show.  Maverick selected the song, Good Life and my favorite is Fly to Your Heart. We are hoping to have an added Star Wars theme soon.  And there are Christmas songs as well.  Be sure to stop by the wishing well, kids can drop a coin and wish upon a star.  All donations collected will be donated to Make-a-Wish in memory of Mason.For more information visit Lights, Stripes and Snow on Facebook.

Another exciting event is this Sunday, December 11, Heartland Church will be helping stuff 200 Wiscurzoos. Yes, 200; Maverick, dad, mom and Mimi helped prepare for this event.  Kids will have the opportunity to purchase after the stuffing event. We will keep you posted.

Last night, teary-eyed, I could barely read the last chapter of Milo Sticky notes and Brain Freeze.   I still can't believe out of all the books at Half Price Books;  it was such a random selection. It was the first and only book Maverick selected.  I swear it was if the book jumped in his hands.  Who would have known it would have been so therapeutic for the both of us; as I usually don't read out loud with him.   The pictures and flashbacks were all so real.  It was definitely a  Mason hug.  He is everywhere; guiding us along the way.
Thank you everyone for your unconditional love and support. Your support means so much.
