W41 of Y3

Whitney's Kindergarten had a little Christmas market at the school

We went to go see Santa (the same one for the last 3 years) at the Christmas Market on base in Heidelberg, but the boys refused to sit on his lap. (Sniff) The first year I don't have a picture of them with Santa. Now I just have to figure out how to keep Whitney little forever!

Scouts

We are collecting 120 shoebox-sized bins full of presents to take to an Orphanage in Hungary for Christmas. Saturday was our big collection day for the bins. We have to go through the bins and make sure everything is ok in them and then add to it with other bulk-sized donations that we recieved. Then we wrap them and organized them by which house the child lives in. It's actually quite a process. The TV station was going to be there to make a commercial spot that day so everyone was all dressed up in their uniforms. The guy called and was sick so everyone was dressed up all day for nothing. The boys looked so nice though.




It was a long day. We ended up spending almost 9 hours there but we got a lot done and the kids were so good and actually had a lot of fun.

Happened to me too Amy, I only got a picture of Hailey on Santa's lap this year. :( At least we still have our girls for now!

Amy, that's so wonderful what you're all doing for the orphanage! That's a lot of work. What a great experience.
