December Daily #7

Tonight we rang the Salvation Army bell in front of our local grocery store.

As a family...

...For 2 whole hours...

...It was 40 degrees. Brrrrrrr!
When our church asked for volunteers, Brian + I thought it would be a great opportunity for our family. We are very interested in teaching our twins that there is much, much more to Christmas than receiving gifts. So we jingled and jingled those bells. And the patrons were very kind and gracious to our family.

On a side note, there was only 1 red apron available for us to wear. Guess who got lucky???

Lila was unanimously selected as MVP for our family. She greeted all the peeps, screamed 'Merry Christmas' about a million times, smiled, danced and looked all kinds of adorable. (She even sustained a minor injury from her wild-at-heart little brother and his rambunctious ringing.) What a gem she is!
