The kids had so much fun working on their Christmas cards for friends yesterday afternoon. We had had a bit of a "horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad day" so being able to focus on our friends and the joy of Christmas was the perfect way to spend our evening : )
This morning we found a rather confused Elf hanging around with a leftover Thanksgiving decoration. I know, I know....that was last month : )
Although it was only 32 degrees today, our special advent activity was.............
Our homeschool group, Grace Home Educators Together (GHET), meets monthly at the local Salvation Army so participating in the Christmas season bell ringing is a great way to give back to them and our community. We had the 10-noon time slot at the Alton Schnucks and boy was it chilly! Although we all had runny noses, cold toes and frozen fingers by the time it was done we also had a lot of laughs, got to meet a lot of people and all-together had a lot of fun. (Dustin and Tiny stayed home, of course, due to the cold and prepared a yummy potato pie to warm us all up!)
Tonight the boys will be joining some friends from our missional church group to ring the bells outside our local Kmart store before heading over to a friend's house for hot cocoa and cookies!
