and I'm sure if you're family is doing well, you aren't either. I'm far removed from the violence right now, but who knows about tomorrow? Friday night was a quiet one for me with all my family members out and about doing different things. I sat in my comfortable living room, stitching away and did watch 90 minutes of news coverage of the tragedy. I clicked it off, deciding to not to let bad news take over - thankful I can do that with the click of a switch. The doorbell rang. Thinking it was a late Fedex delivery, I went to the door and found 7 little elementary aged girls and 1 mom, singing Christmas carols. Sweet sounds from little voices. Several were my neighbors. Wow, did that stir my emotions! Beautiful children protected from the tragedy - I had to hug them!
Here's my little neighbors at our "traditional" Christmas craft night. Anything I do with them they call TRADITION, so I'm not getting out of it anytime soon! I hope we get many more!

My goodness, they aren't even little girls anymore compared to when you first started. How cool that they still want to have your "tradition!" I think it's a great idea to do activities with neighbor kids or friends' kids or whatnot...especially when ours are all grown up!
Amen. There are no words for this tragedy except- the world needs Jesus and we need to show Him lovingly to everyone.
Great tradition! I would have hugged those little ones, too. So sweet and such heartache. I don't want to look at the pictures, but decided to.....just to make it seem even more real. Hard to do, but felt like I needed to. It's easier not to, for sure. I turned off the coverage, too, after a while. So tragic. Praying for those families.
Those are great! I love your Christmas crafts! I wish I had more time to do some. I haven't watched any news on the CN stuff, but have heard a lot by facebook. I thought Cooper had enough night terrors to hear about the kids there.In unrelated news, Newkirk had a HS kid take his own life. I totally agree that God needs to be put back in school.
