Since June L has wanted a doll house for Christmas. Almost weekly she would recount for me the things on her list - and they never changed. As her good fortune would have it, a couple of the things on her list were given to her for her birthday in October. She did have to spend a couple of weeks deciding what she would add to her list to replace the received gifts. However, the doll house remained consistently at the top of her list. Michael & I decided that we would invest in a doll house and I started researching our options. Through God's amazing and ongoing provision, we were gifted a second hand Fischer-Price three story doll house with all the accessories. We were thrilled with the gift and joyfully hid it in the crawl space, eagerly awaiting Christmas morning.
The week before Christmas L announced that she had taken the doll house off her Christmas list. "Why", we inquired. Her response, "I think a doll house is too big for Santa to get on his sleigh and into our house. So I'm just going to ask him for slippers, a snowglobe, and a pretty dress." She had a daddy-daughter date with Michael scheduled and had requested a trip to the mall to visit the jolly old man. We suggested that she could ask him about the size of the doll house and the logistics. However, she politely declined and stuck to her new list.
Thankfully, on Christmas morning she came downstairs and was beyond delighted to see a doll house by her stocking.
