Hello Kitty and Moxie Girls

We had another fun-filled evening Saturday. First, while I looked at toys online with the youngest grandchildren, John and Leticia prepared pizza with the Rustic Crust pizza kit I bought at Sunflower Market last week. A cheese, pepperoni and veggie and meat pizza disappeared quickly. Next, we got out the bingo game acquired from the Dollar Tree last week. We usually end up spoiling the children with candy and small items that I keep on hand, but this time we decided to put them in a jar and use them as prizes. The "world's largest candy necklaces" were the first prizes pulled out of the jar by eager hands, followed by miniature gel pens, a candy filled Happy Van and a Hello Kitty lipgloss/snow globe.

Our three youngest grandchildren--Junior, Evita and Dulcea--spent the night. The five of us snuggled together on the sofa to watch Max Lucado's "Christmas Child" and "Jack Frost." I couldn't resist giving Evita and Dulcea an early Christmas present: Moxie Girlz Twins. Along with the dolls, I told them that I wanted them to learn how to share through them. Several times over the evening I heard them exchanging outfit pieces, and exclaiming, "We're sharing." I also explained to them the meaning of "moxie." I was happy that they loved the dolls and that we could use them as teaching tools.
