well, the boys delivered their letter about the luminaries and the orders kept coming and coming and coming! We bought all the white bags from target, michael's and hobby lobby and added them to the luminaries we bought at a book store. Marc was continually running out for more cat litter, cups or tea lights. The boys made big signs that said "lit up for Kate."
Ben and Will raised $400 for the Leukemia Lymphoma society and we had the most wonderful Christmas Eve working together and visiting our neighbors. We set out the bags just before dusk and lit them as the sun set. Our neighbors were in their yards smiling and taking photos. Cars drove down slowly admiring all night. The best part was when Kate and family drove into our driveway after viewing the street. Kate had the biggest smile and my children felt it...truly felt IT.
"You don't keep Christmas. You give it away." --Charles Dickens
