Larry and I had just left the house when I got this text: "Just left the worst Christmas present ever at your house! It is bread that rose into the rack above it in the oven which was bad enough. The kids put a present on it in the car! Merry flat Christmas to you!" Larry and I burst out laughing just imagining this. We laughed even harder when we got home to see our Christmas gift! The big boys even played with it before we opened it up. I had to grab the camera because this was the best and most perfect gift! It really is the thought that counts!
I thought about how I would have reacted had that been me baking and giving the bread. I would have been so stressed.....maybe said a few things I shouldn't and possibly even cried. I don't think I would have taken the bread but I am so glad this friend reacted the way she did. What an example to me and to our family! The bread was delicious and our day was enlightened because of it! Thank You Dear Friend for loving us this much.....we all love you too!
I texted her and told her thanks and how it made our day. She responded with: "I'm glad! I almost just turned around and came home but then I knew of all my friends you guys would laugh with me. Merry Christmas". We did just that! Now that is Christmas!
