Violet - I've been wanting a turtle for the past...oh, 25 years or so?
I gave up a while back. They're hard to take care of.
Anyways, Preston came home the other day with...bing! A turtle!
He's a baby hatchling, a red-ear slider. I named him Sprout (after the Jolly Green Giant's nephew). I bought him a coconut shell house and drilled a hole in the top and attached a itty-bitty satelite dish
I'd forgotten that I even wanted a turtle...but receiving one as an early Christmas gift made me feel like a child again!
There really IS Christ in Christmas. He can touch your heart and melt it and make you feel young and new all over again!
Happy birthday, Jesus!
