Santa came early and had many friends help deliver this amazing gift!
Late at night on the 22nd we received a note at our door stating that we needed to be home at 11am the following morning because a HUGE gift would be delivered. It was signed "someone that loves you". I was moved just that someone was thinking of us and didn't give too much thought to this HUGE delivery, just that someone cared.
Well, on the 23rd I went to the gym and the kids and Kade were asleep when I left. I was on my way home at 10:30 am thinking I would have time to change and make sure the kids were changed before any delivery came. From the end of the street I could see a crane at the other end of the street and I was very curious as to what was happening. As I got closer I realized it was at MY house! There was also a flatbed truck with four amazing little homes on it. They were hooking up a purple little house and putting it in our backyard over our wall! I ran inside and went into the backyard. The girls were not exactly dressed, Kari and Kiera were still in p.j.'s and no one had their hair done. Everyone was ecstatic at this incredible delivery, including me! Kade and I were just in shock at the playhouse. We didn't understand how this happened. As I understand now, there was an advertisement on the radio about four playhouses being given away from Santa and people could call in and nominate families.
Our family was nominated and we received this miraculous purple playhouse. Inside were some gifts. The girls had to wait until Christmas morning to open those gifts from Santa. Their names were on their gifts and Santa knew them well, giving them dress-ups that fit their personalities so well. Kolden also received some gifts. The kids also each got some p.j.'s, an outfit (and Santa has great taste because the clothes are so beautiful), and some things to use in the playhouse like a tea set, a doctor's dress-up kit, a McDonald's register and food, and a birthday party set. Santa truly spoiled us.
I hope that anyone that was involved as Santa's helper knows of our deep and sincere gratitude for this phenomenal gift. We have to drag the girls out of the playhouse to come in and eat dinner or when it is so cold to come in a get warm. The playhouse has an outside light and an inside light as well as an outlet inside. We just hook up an extension cord to the outside of the playhouse. The girls have already planned sleep overs and tea parties in it. We will put some plywood up on the walls and let the girls paint inside. We will also put a metal sheet up with a frame so the kids can use magnets to display their art work. Right after we got the playhouse we put a small table and three chairs inside and their little kitchen set. We bought some rolling drawers so they can keep dress-ups, dishes and food in it and still keep it clean. It is the playhouse I always dreamed about when I was younger. I will be sleeping over in the playhouse with the girls and we will make some invaluable memories in it. We are so richly blessed and we are so grateful for the playhouse and gifts! THANK YOU to Santa and his helpers!
