Happy Sunday to yall! Today after church we packed up boxes for Operation Christmas Child. Each box is delivered to a child in another part of the world. The children who receive these boxes live in terrible conditions and most have never received a present before. We packed the boxes, then prayed over them. Here are some pictures of the boys with the boxes.
We enjoy getting the opportunity to help out kids around the world while teaching our kids some valuable lessons about how blessed we are here. It's a great way to start out the Christmas season. Hopefully this will inspire others to help those in need. Have a great afternoon!
That's it for tonight. I've gotta go defend myself because Jason thinks it's funny that I'm showing my imaginary friends pictures of my computer. And he's sitting right next to me trying to tell me to take him off my blog. Yeah, whatever. Not scared. Have a good evening!
First up we have Alysa the bumblebee and Anthony the Tigger in the wagon. They insisted on getting in the wagon between every house.
Here's Tigger and Joey the Spiderman in action. I know they look all sweet, but Anthony would tell the candy givers that he could do it himself and try to get his own candy. A few times he gave them back their candy and told them he didn't like that kind. While they stared in shock, he picked out the pieces he did want. Of course last year he was only old enough to say, "I want more" at every house. They grow up so fast.
I'm not sure Luke the giraffe ever realized we left the house. He was adorable though!
Here we have Adam, Keith, Ashley, & BreAnne at the fun fest at church. I managed to score them some awesome farm animal finger puppets. During the cake walk, Keith won an awesome cake that they named Heaven. It was still warm from the oven, so we tried it. It was half gone before we left the church.
Last, I have a picture of Keith & Adam trick or treating. I think they had more fun than the little kids. They ended up with lots of candy. We had a great time with all of our visitors. Keep in mind that I'm squeaking with my lack of a voice the whole time they were here. I'm gonna try to be quiet today so I can get my voice back, but yall know that's hard for me. I hope everyone enjoys today and doesn't eat too much candy!
Jason is enjoying having a baby around. He changed Luke's diaper and then fed him a bottle. Anthony & Alisa enjoyed playing legos together. They were both humming and singing while they played. They're all gonna go trick or treating tonight. Joey is Spiderman, Anthony is Tigger, Alisa is a bumblebee ballerina, and Luke is a giraffe. I'll try to get the pictures up tomorrow. Yall have a wonderful Halloween!
The show was great. Well, it was ok. The great part was seeing Anthony's face. He really enjoyed himself. Joey said he loved it too, I just wasn't sitting close enough to him to see. Too bad there's not a Phineas & Ferb Live. We would be all over that one. Anyway, I'm worn out from working all day, going to the show, and enduring all the ridicule from Joey about my lack of voice. Yep, you should have heard him chanting, "You can't yell, you can't yell" after he drove me insane. Thank goodness they've calmed down (finally) while watching our favorite show. I'm gonna sneak off to bed. Got lots of company coming tomorrow, so I need my rest. Good night!
