For the second year in a row, the older two kids got to spend an evening shopping with their favorite Nana (Pam) and her husband (Ed). The best part about the shopping is that they can go with $5 each and buy enough presents for every important person in their life. Nana Pam's church collects donated items that the kids can buy for next to nothing. They hand pick gifts for everyone special and then get to wrap them all up to keep them a secret until Christmas. It was so fun to see what they picked out last year and I cannot wait to find out what items they thought would be just perfect for us this year! It'll be amazing to see if they can keep everything a secret over the next few weeks!
all ready to go
a very sad 2-year-old (he's not quite ready for this experience)
Caleb (according to Nana Pam) spent lots of time thinking through each purchase.
Leah flew through her gift selecting and wrapped everything up in record time.
The kids got to also eat a yummy meal with Nana Pam and Ed.
We are so thankful for this experience. It's quite special for our kids to be able to learn the joy that comes with giving to others. They came home beaming - all because they are so excited to bless others with gifts.
