Grateful Christmas

Hi Everyone

Happy Wednesday

*The true spirit of Christmas*

When my Husband and I were blessed with our first child 

we quickly realized how grateful we were that she was a healthy happy baby 

We started a family tradition of bringing presents to the children who happened to be in the hospital at Christmas time

So every year our family collects toys

for the children from friends at Church, School and my Husbands company

  We get to 

deliver them on Christmas eve

after Church. This will be our 20th year

and we look forward to this tradition almost as

much as we do Christmas day

We wanted our children to grow up grateful for all that they have

and to understand how important it is to think of others  

Last night we hosted a small party for friends who brought toys to donate

We were overwhelmed and humbled by everyone's generosity

~What a Blessing~

♥

Today our hearts are full and we are grateful for 

such wonderful friends and generous hearts
