Now that Thanksgiving is over! We can move on to Christmas!! The Christmas tree is up! Really a line right up the tree. We also learned
Tile floor + Kids+ glass bulbs= a lot of sweeping!!

P.S. This is our first Christmas we can put a topper on our Christmas tree! All of our other homes our ceiling was to low! We are enjoying our new home's space and all!!
This year we are trying something a little new and on Monday we began our challenge! We want the kids to know the true meaning of Christmas is not the presents or the man with with a white beard! It is about our Savor who served and gave his Life for us. At first we were going to do 25 services in 25 days, but the kids were excited. And to be honest I was a little nervous if we were going to be able to reach that goal. So we gave ourselves a few extra day and started on Monday that way in case we are not able to serve for some reason we have a few extra days in there. We just started on Monday and we already have 6 services. Trying to teach the kids you can serve to little or no cost and does not have to be BIG. We try to serve year around so really I have to tell the kids see we are serving and the kids reply, "but we always do this!" Which makes me happy thinking maybe we have taught them they should always look for ways to serve.
My favorite is when Katelynn said, "But Mom this is fun!"
We still have 19 to go and we are not sharing our service it's personal to us and we really do love to serve our family and friends! But if anyone has ideas we would love to hear it!
Merry Christmas!!
