Wonderful Christmas

We had wonderful times this year with Christmas preparations. The boys are at a perfect age!!! We baked cookies, made a Gingerbread Santa Sleigh (this was a very fun project!!) The boys were able to help hold the pieces in place while I spread the frosting and then they placed the candy pieces on. The boys and I also had a blast shopping at our local thrift store picking out toys to help families in need this christmas. We ended up helping 5 families (10 kids) this Christmas. I took old Diaper boxes and wrapped them in wrapping paper and we filled each box with toys and basic necessities approriate for each kids age. Tyler and Trevor learned the true meaning of Christmas this year as they helped clean out some of their toys to pass onto these other kids.
Once everything was gathered, we had the honor of delivering everything to these families. It felt so Wonderful! The parents were so appreciate, expecially knowing their kids would all have pillows to sleep on!!!!!
