the giving tree

On Tuesday night, instead of our regular Life Group meeting, we decided to meet for dinner and then shop for "The Giving Tree" for our church.  We talked about it though out the the week with our kiddos, letting them know that they were going to be picking out toys for other girls and boys and from the ages of 5-10 years old.  We took the gift cards that our church had donated to pick out the gifts.  I have never been able to do the shopping for "The Giving Tree" and it was really special for the kiddos to be part of!
Forgive the blurriness.  
Having 14 kids sit still in the toy isle is no easy task...
 It was such a special night and I am so thankful for not only our Life Group, but that we get to have memories and experiences like this as families!

Ryder picked a Nerf Gun and a Star Wars Lego set for the boy gifts and Eden picked a mini Frozen Ana and Elsa doll and an Elsa Barbie.  Both kept saying "This is really cool mom, I hope they like it as much as I do!"❤︎
