It's almost the end of December. You may be enjoying Hanukkah or getting ready for Christmas. I hope you are having a wonderful holiday with your family and friends.
Tommy is really enjoying all the activities leading up to Christmas. We have had lots of visitors lately; it's great to meet new people and see old friends. Tom has been entertaining everyone who comes to visit with his dancing. All you have to do is put on a little music and that boy will happily dance around for hours. I'm not kidding - like 2 hours of dancing!!! I'm working on getting a good video to post.
I tried to search for my amazon list and it's not easy because the name is long. So here's a direct link!
Thomas Marshall Does It All - Gifts for Blind children
Some people are in a giving mood! I saw that Aiden's adoption grant has grown from $360 to over $900. That is so amazing. Thank you to anyone that donated to help defray the cost of adopting this blind child who is presently in a institution. I hope that people will continue to give and maybe next year Aiden will be spending the holiday with a family of his own.
Tom has already received so many thoughtful gifts this year. He got a gift card for braille books from Seedlings from our family in Florida and Alabama. And handmade shelves for his all his toys that are Tom height and painted black and white from his Great Uncle Ken. And we got a huge box of glow sticks for lots of glowing bath time fun and some itunes gift cards so we can get some new apps and music for Tom's iPad. And we got a couple braille Christmas cards this year too. It has already been a great Christmas!
