The Invitation Pillow

When I tuck my kids into bed they love when I snuggle into bed with them for a few minutes. I would guess that all kids love the same thing. They want to hug and talk about the day. We often will sing a song or two. Chuck will usually tell them a ridiculous story or play "game show" with them. It is more than just a quick peck on the cheek and a ruffle of the hair and lights out.

Tristen started putting out a special pillow for me and she calls it the invitation pillow. When she puts it out it means she wants me to stay an extra long time and give her lots of hugs and snuggles. How can I refuse? I often have laundry and dishes and chores that are calling my name. But...to stay and snuggle my little ones...is just precious. I love the name of the invitation pillow. Too cute. Too sweet. So tonight when I tuck them in and say our prayers I bet she will have out the invitation pillow.
