Sad, Sad Day!

The last two years, Kristen has made Ken homemade cherry chocolates for Christmas. He loves them. It’s a huge, sticky, messy job for her. And this year, she had to drive an hour away to even find the dipping chocolate to make them. It’s a gift of love. He rations them, and eats one a day -he’s become his father. Today, he was sad to announce that there’s just one left. Weren’t there four boxes? Hmmmm . . . . maybe he hasn’t become his father.

Cherry chocolates sound really good right now! Will Kristen make me some? I'm sorry for Ken that they are all gone :(

LOL to Michelle's "one(?)" comment! Really the dirty little secret behind this gift is that I am just grateful to have something that I can give to him that I know that he will enjoy. You know how hard it is to find the right gift for dad. Really, it is just the result of an uncreative mind! :) Mom, please remind dad that his birthday is coming up! :)

That is so sad. Lu is so amazing to make those, I'll bet it's not an easy feat.
