We had a delayed Family Home evening last night, but it was great! We actually did it at Kiwi Loco, so our activity and treat were all in one! We were talking about the topic of blessings. Blessings in the manner of what we are blessed with and grateful to have in our lives. The topic went to how much have that we don't need. Rex and I came up with an idea to present to the boys, that, well, we were unsure of how it would go. Rex and I decided that it would be a good idea to take all the money we would spend on Christmas for our family and taking that money and spending it on 2-3 other families to provide them a Christmas. This would mean that we would not exchange presents, or buy gifts for the family. The average amount we spend on gifts would be able to provide a decent Christmas morning for 2-3 families that are in need. The boys were more willing than I expected them to be. They are very excited and want to start saving and planning already! It is exciting. I hope we can pull this off and it is something we can stick with.
