Holiday Fun - Part 1

Yes, yes, I know it's already halfway through January. Whatever. Anyhoo, these are some pictures from some of our holiday. One of the best things we did this year was to buy Toys for Tots. My mom and dad gave each of the boys a portion of the money they would have spent on their gifts to buy gifts for other kids. I LOVE this idea and my boys really got into it! They spent a really long time looking over toys and thinking about what another child would like. They made fantastic decisions and we had to make 4 trips into the fire station to drop off all of the gifts! THAT is what Christmas is all about!

(If you think it's funny that I'm just posting Christmas, just wait. Next I'm doing October fun!)

Awesome idea!! Have to try that one next year (our kids pretend to get the idea of giving, but I don't think they are quite there yet). Yeah for yours! and your fam for encouraging them! Guess we'll see Christmas pics in a few more months...
