*The Angel Tree*

Last Monday for Family Home Evening my Mom wanted to take the kids to the mall and have them pick a name of a little boy or girl their age from the Angel Tree. It was so much fun! This was our first time ever doing this but it was such a good experience knowing that we have so much to be grateful for. We feel picked on because we can't afford to get the kids EVERYTHING they want for Christmas. These kids that we picked from the tree were wishing for a coat and shoes. It's amazing how much we truly do have. I feel so blessed to have a roof over my head, food to eat and everything we need to keep warm in the winter. This is something we will continue to do every year. I think the kids (and adults) can learn A LOT from this.
