• Last night Keaton said that today was one of her favorite days of the year, and it is one of my favorites as well. 
• First, let's start with a Marley report-last night when I woke up at 5 with her, I was so proud. I kept wondering though if maybe, Robby had woken up before me and taken her out. Indeed, it had-so Marley woke up at 2 and 5 which isn't great. It took me an hour to settle her at 5.
• Even though I had really planned on walking, I sure didn't hear my alarm ringing for nearly an hour. I still was able to wake up everyone in plenty of time to start the day plus I folded most of the clothes. 
• Graham and Whitman started on their school this morning while Keaton, Campbell, and I went to Old Navy. We met my friend there and helped her buy some clothes-we bought 2 outfits and a jacket for each kid. When we finished with at Old Navy we went to Walmart to buy the kids presents. 
• After all of that, we went to their office and wrapped all of these presents. We wrapped everything that we bought plus we were able to wrap for other kids as well. They buy for around 120 kids and today we finished 20 of those kids.
• Since I was gone all day, Robby had Marley duty-you can't take your eyes off of her so it isn't an easy task. He was happy to see us come home for a few minutes at 3. We were home long enough for me to pick up a few things, and then it was time to leave.
• I left first with the girls to go to church-but we had to stop at the library and then at Nike which took forever. Keaton was panicked that we were going to arrive late, but we were still there in plenty of time.
• After church, Graham and Campbell had their practice for Sunday, and all of us stopped at ChickFilA on the way home. Now, we are on the couch trying to watch a show, but I still need to get hot chocolate and fix Campbell's school for next week.
