An Early Visit From Santa

Our family, or should I say Natalie, had a very eventful week. It started like this......
On Monday night as we were cleaning up dinner and getting ready for Family Home Evening our doorbell rang. Of course the kids run to the door first and fling it open expecting to see someone standing there. Well, there was no person there at all!! Guess what the kids found sitting on our "Welcome" mat. It was a small pet carrier with a KITTEN inside!! The carrier was wrapped in a big red Christmas ribbon and it had a note attached to it. The note read,

To: Natalie
I had heard you wanted a kitten for Christmas.
This little kitty was getting cold at the North Pole
and couldn't wait to meet you, so I am making
an early delivery. Merry Christmas!!
From: Santa

Natalie immediately started crying and laughing. She didn't know what to think! Natalie hurried and grabbed the carrier and brought it inside. With tears in her eyes she reached in and grabbed the cat. I have NEVER seen her smile so big! She was so excited! Santa did a great job being sneaky while he was dropping off the kitty. The kids never even knew he was outside. Thanks Santa for bringing us a new addition to our family......sweet Oliver!

Um...we got her that puppy she's holding - with a personalized dog tag. Guess we will have to get her something else!!

That is probably coolest thing that has ever happened to a little girl. Ever.
