"Read Me" Christmas Trees

As I browsed through Christmas pictures earlier today, I came across the one above (courtesy of boingboing.net.)  Since books are a big part of Happily Ever After Me, I thought it would be fun to share a few more on here. Enjoy!

'Frendship Contract'

Yesterday as I was cleaning out my 9 year old's backpack, I found a piece of paper that caught my eye.  The top read, 'Frendship Contract.'

I couldn't help but wonder what it was (as I have found a handful of interesting notes in her backpack lately.. ha) so I unwrinkled, unfolded, and continued to read:

"This contract makes sure Katelyn and Kendal will be Best Friends Forever.  To be loyal and honest to eachother.  To be kind and thoughtful. To talk out every problem and fight we have.  To ask for help every time we need help. To keep personaly information."

This made me smile.  Why is it so easy for us adults to forget such simple things?  My nine year old even knows that any relationship should have loyalty, honesty, kindness, thoughtfulness, communication, no gossiping, and the ability to ask for help.  If only it were as simple as a "contract" for both parties to sign.

As I am raising my children and "teaching" them, I hope I never overlook their innocence and continue to learn from them.
