hot cocoa?

I'm making some hot chocolate, would you like some? Unfortunately, the only marshmallows I can offer you are those which have been in Bean's mouth or on the floor... how about some biscotti instead?

favorite one!

Year after year, this is still Bean's favorite present.

no time like presents time

Bean loves presents! Even when they are not opened.
He'll get back to you when he decides on his favorite one...
Enjoy yours and your family this Christmas morn!

the potentially dangerous eve

Bean is going to try really hard to not burn the church down by not dropping his candle when the wax drips off the way too small wax stopper thingy and burns him.
Bean, we're with you on that aspiration.

ice capades?

or maybe skating is more your thing?

hitchin' a sleigh ride

Bean wants to know if you want to go on a sleigh ride with him.
He's got an electric blanket, which he promises will keep you toasty even though there is no place to plug it in.

blizzard nyc

Bean says to the blizzard- BRING IT! and I load my purse up with 400 film and ready my old camera.
Hooray for NYC looking like a snow globe!

While Bean loves advent calendars, he can never seem to find one with big enough chocolates.

still there

Bean is keeping David close to his heart.
David is still on Bean's mind and in his prayers.

Go David, Go!

pray pray

Bean has a dear friend, David, that has to go to the doctor's for a long time tomorrow. So Bean is going to pray for him all day long, and think about him, and tell other people to pray for him, and hug David's mommy in his mind because he can't do it in person.

And then Bean is going to pray that David gets a pretty bandaid (with The Incredibles on it or the ones that look like bacon) and a great big lollipop to share with him.

But I am like an olive tree
flourishing in the house of God;
I trust in God's unfailing love
for ever and ever.

For what you have done I will always praise you
in the presence of your faithful people.
And I will hope in your name,
for your name is good.

-the conclusion of Psalm 52
