Since we got married we have tried to sponsor a family for Christmas or get names off the angel tree. As we have had kids it has become even more of a priority to teach them that because we are so blessed we should help bless those in need. Hallie is getting to the point she is starting to understand it and talks about it frequently. Matt & I feel that the world is becoming more and more selfish all the time and everyone thinks of only themselves. I want my girls to grow up in a world where you find the best in everyone and help when you can. Hallie was really excited to pick a tag from the tree. We usually pick children close to our kids age and then let them help pick the gifts out. The Monday we went shopping for FHE Hallie picked out a dolly with interchangeable clothes and a stroller as well as some necessities. Gracie's name just needed necessities so not much fun to report there but we had fun picking out cute clothes. Now just to deliver them to the organization so they can take them to the families. As we have done this this year we have surprisingly got some people that were less than supportive for various reasons and to them I say if someone wants to be dishonest about asking for help that is their problem not mine. All that is asked of me is to help when people ask for it...that is what I will be judged for. Merry Christmas.
