Last week, Mabes comes running into the family room. "Mommy! I found a bucket!" Yeah, I know, it's been there for a while--go back to your room. "I made a bucket like the man at Hee Teeter!" (Harris Teeter, our grocery store, for the non-Southerners) Uh-huh, great! Go back to your room. "I need a bell."
Sensing that I wasn't giving her my full attention, she brought this out:
"See, I need a bell. And you can give me money and I will say 'Meeeeeeerry Christmas!' and I will DANCE!" (Our Salvation Army guy is very enthusiastic.) Interesting. Some kids play doctor, some kids play school or house. My kid plays Salvation Army Bell Ringer. And because it makes me laugh:
(she's a very serious, somber child)

best.niece.ever.
Oh man, that's awesome. That last picture made me burst out in laughter.
She would get so much money in her bucket. With that face and dress, you 3 could fly to CA free>> She just makes my day brighter.
I love reading your blogs...but this one I loved she is so funny! She reminds me of my neice but she likes to pretend she's a dog.
She just gets cutier and cutier! I still think the magic rock is just so classic! We miss you guys and hope you are having a great time in CA. PS: Jill has teeth! They have been hiding up top! None on the bottom, but two up top! Strange!!
Okay....I can't stop laughing! She has soooo much personality! She is hilarious! Love that kid! Have so much fun and we'll see ya when you get back!
i think mabes might be the best dressed salvation army bell ringer of all time. ps, that christmas card made my life!
