I love the joy that my wife gets out of doing the things that she loves. One of those things is organizing birthday parties for our kids and holiday parties for our families.
Our kids birthday parties are world famous by their friends so we always have amazing turnout. She’ll spend hours decking out the house. Sometimes days.
One small example is last night.
These Styrofoam trays are gingerbread house making kids. She loads them up with gingerbread crackers, frosting, Skittles, M&Ms, and gum drops.
Then she breaks up the gingerbread into equal pieces, measures M&Ms and Skittles with measuring cups, packages it all up nicely and doesn’t expect anything from it other than the joy of doing it for others.
She’ll talk about how she remembered, going to her grandmothers as a kid and playing with her cousins as being some of her best memories. And now she provides that for our kids, their cousins and even the aunts and uncles and grandmas and grandpa’s.
She is just the most innocent person, and one of my favorite things is watching her be her. I love her.
