Last night we did something we try not to do very often, take all four kids to Wal-Mart at the same time. Wal-Mart is nuts as it is, but four kids with Christmas on the brain it is just plain nuts.
Fortunately we were there with a purpose in mind, everyone needed to find a gift to be donated to the Christmas Box House. Cam was quick to find art supplies, McKinley chose those black felt coloring boards, Keegan found a nice hoodie, Bracken found a shirt that came with a beanie and Will and I chose a pillow pet. We got out of Wal-Mart with only a few more gray hairs and with kids that were happy with their choices.
I love this time of year, I love seeing smiles on faces and the crazy running around we all do. I love helping my kids to see the importance of taking care of those who need the help and I love spending even more time together as a family.
I hope everyone takes the opportunity to do for someone else this year. Merry Christmas!!
