A Little Celebration

So, do you remember the commercial about celebrating the "little" moments in life by purchasing an ice cream cake? Something like getting new glasses, getting an A on a paper, etc. Some things were fairly ridiculous, others a good cause for celebration. I think maybe it was Dairy Queen or Carvel, who knows. Anyhow, we had a little celebration today in our home, minus the Dairy Queen cake. In today's mail, we got the official letter from the Christian school we want Eric to attend, saying that he has indeed been accepted. Eric was so excited and I thought it was a perfect opportunity to celebrate "the little things" that make life so fun.

We had fun making this poster, hanging streamers, going to the library to pick out a family video, and planning the menu (pizza and ice cream cones!). Check out Eric's own handwriting on this sign too! He wrote "I'm Going to BCCS". Gotta love the enthusiasm.Today: I'm thankful for the little things. Like my new flannel PJs (only $4 on clearance!), a generous person who gave Chad a gift card for gasoline because he helped them fix their computer, showing the kids the leaf buds sprouting on the trees (finally!), and the excitement of a little boy at the prospect of a whole new world waiting for him at school. God is so good to us!
