Peace to all of you!
Each year we do something for the community at Christmas time. This is how our hat and mitten donation got started and I am always looking for ways to help my kids help others. It is probably the one thing that I feel is the most important in raising my children, to think of and serve others. I want it to be the most natural thing for them that they don't even have to think about doing it, they just do.
Last year we did gift boxes to soldiers in Kuwait. We had a great time choosing gifts and packing everything up. This year we started doing projects in November so that we were not rushed. We are ending our season by taking 7 dozen cookies to the nursing home near our house that took care of our friend, Mrs. Smith, last year when she broke her hip. We hope that the staff and residents enjoyed the treats. They were delighted to see our smiling faces and the plate piled with goodies. It feels so good to bring smiles to others faces.
Erin is so proud to deliver her hard work!
