Getting into the Christmas spirit






Last week-end was a busy, fun-filled week-end full of turkey, spending time with family, and Christmas preperations. The kids had so much fun decorating the tree this year. Noah especially liked hanging all of the ornaments and declared that each one is his "favorite".
The kids and I also had fun volunteering for the Salvation Army as bell ringers. Ella lasted about 20 minutes, which was 19 more minutes than I was expecting, and Noah could have stood there ringing that bell all day I think. It helped immensely that it was 65 degrees out, but he really did enjoy it. I think that we are going to make it a tradition and try to find time every year to be bell ringers. I hope that my kids learn to help others and appreciate all that we have.
