We are so glad its Christmastime. We love to decorate the house and go shopping. Last weekend we put lights up outside for the first time in 4 years. Its not the Griswald's, but its not bad for a couple of inexperienced females. Next weekend we will do our annual holiday baking. We decided to tone it down this year and just make 3 things instead of the usual 8. Tayler got her handstand vertical on the high bar last week so she got her Wii today. I can't believe how physical the games are. I played for about 30 minutes and I'm pooped. Over the past two weeks I have been collecting money from friends to give a family in need for Christmas. Today I was able to give them a $300 Walmart giftcard and $100 cash to buy groceries and presents for their family. Every year we give to Christmas Angels unless we know a specific family in need. It is so rewarding to make someone's Christmas and know their kids will be happy on Christmas morning. I came across the following saying today:
"That's what I consider true generosity. You give your all, and yet you always feel as if it costs you nothing" - Simone de Beauvoir
I hope we all feel this way over the holidays and long after they're gone.
Merry Christmas!
We can't wait to see you guys!
