It's not all about us.

We had a great "it's not all about us Wednesday"!  We rang the bell for the Salvation Army for an hour--it was interesting to say the least.  :)  Wendy joined us, and we both had a huge chuckle when Griffin shook the bell ferociously, a lady walked by and didn't give us any money, then turned around and said, "Well, that didn't work!"  It was hard for him to sit still, but he was quite entertaining, and it was good to know that he was learning that life isn't all about us, and Christmas isn't all about presents.  We're blessed and giving back to others is important.




In the afternoon, we went to a local nursing home to decorate cookies with 13 residents.  We couldn't take any photos of the residents for privacy reasons, but here are some photos of our time there.

 Here are the cookies one resident made! 
It was so great....the residents had a wonderful time and loved spending time with the kids.  It made my heart happy.

"Well that didn't work" made Jason and I laugh so hard just now! Oh the world from a child's eyes is so funny! I love the honesty.
