A Giving Christmas Part 1

Today we started part 1 of our Giving Christmas operation.  Matt and I want to make sure Sarah Anne realizes, which Christmas is a very fun holiday with so many fun things to do, we can also serve and give to others as we celebrate the birth of Jesus.  So, today I joined with some of our friends who have the same belief to start the process of teaching giving during the time of the year where we are so used to receiving.  I have to say this idea really comes from my Aunt Julia who is so giving and such a blessing!!  We made cookies (which went in the freezer) that we will use in December to continue on our giving process.  The kids did GREAT while cutting out the cookies and it wasn't too incredibly messy!!  So here is part 1 of our process!!

Getting ready!!

"I LOVE Chuck E Cheese"

This is the statement my child made multiple times today.  Her Daddy was golfing with his friends so she got to go to Chuck E Cheese not only with me, but with her sweet friend Molly.  She DEMOLISHED the pizza, played games, rode and rode and rode, and climbed the playground.  She had a great time and hopefully it will result in a good nap!!

Taking a little ride...

Spinning in the cocoa cup!

Molly on the carowheel!!

So nervous, but loving it!!
