Neighbor Logan (10) and his niece Lily (8) bopped over to visit for a little while. It’s always fun to see them and listen to them chatter. We got a kick out of the footage from the outdoor cam, showing them running over here at top speed.
When conversation lagged, they said they should go because they were going to bake Christmas cookies. Again the only speed was fast. If you can see it clearly, the clip shows that Logan beat Lily up the steps.
I was taking a nap when they came back, but John was there to receive their Christmas card and a lovely tin of fudge and festive cookies. What a treat! I read the card and lingered over the signatures, because each had signed his own name.
The children may have made a special trip to bring a nativity scene Logan made for us. John found a special spot to hang it on our tree.

I always make my bed, but I was glad it was still neat that day. Lily saw it from John’s office and said, “I like your bed.” Yes! Funny how four little words can make one glow.
Oh what a lovely visit! I like your bed too! I am thinking I need some Christmas bedding

We’ve had the comforter for several years, but it is really working now. It is not warm at all, so I put the summer duvet under it. That was the perfect combination.

I like the bed too. I could definitely curl up on that for a good nap!

Can you leap that high? How high can you jump? I need a stool to get on the bed. Guess you could always climb up the Christmas comforter.

When I was a kitten I did. I’ve matured since then.

Good for you! Kittens are cute, but I’d rather live with a mature cat.

Most people think the opposite, I’m so glad you don’t!!! Us older cats have just as much to offer.

Homemade gifts are generally the best. And isn’t it funny the things kids notice? Your bed is pretty and festive. That pop of red is so lovely this time of year!

I love watching them run over to your place and then back again! The ornament is precious and I love your bedding! KIds notice things like that.

I never see Lily’s mother, but if I did, I’d tell her a Christmas bedspread might be a nice gift for her daughter.

I’ve never seen a Christmas bedspread so this is a first. Your bed looks comfy. I like the nativity scene. How thoughtful … the fudge and cookies were thoughtful as well.

Logan and his family are very special. I think John got that bedspread.

I know they are special and judging from the way he and Lily bounced over to your house, (as caught on your outside surveillance camera), those youngsters feel the same way about your family. The bedspread is pretty – I’ve never seen one for Christmas before. My great-grandmother used to quilt and when I was growing up we had some quilts on beds that she had made for my mother. We also had a tick comforter in gold satin … I remember it was on my bed and it got ripped somehow – feathers everywhere, but not my fault.
