Em and I walked around, she with a box on her head, looking at the gingerbread creations that donors gave for silent auction to raise funds for the hospital.

  1. I can’t imagine heaven without chocolate or coffee…I’m guessing Jesus has had the best of the best! Good thing we’re aloud to imagine what heaven will be like. 🙂
