Dad's Christmas party

 We started a new Christmas tradition this year.  Instead of picking names and exchanging gifts with cousins, we decided to do a service project and put together "blessing bags" for the homeless.  Tera got all the supplies at the Dollar Store and we had each kid assigned to an item.  Then we simply passed bags around and they put one item in each bag.  Easy-peasy and fun!  I was so impressed with how fast we put together 20+ bags and kept the kids' attention.  They seemed to actually enjoy it.

 12 boy cousins + 1 girl (Taryn)

 Dad, Denise (my dad's fiance'), Corby, and Taryn

Dad and Denise got each family a tube of (70+) matchbox cars...the boys were so excited!

They immediately went to the basement and set up the tube and tracks to send all the cars down. :)
