Advent

We started off December right this year!! Its so hard to instill a thankful heart in children who have everything they could want or need. 
We have been talking about the Christmas season and thinking of things we can do for others. Kinsey wanted to bake cookies for her friends. And then off course she added that she would like to eat some of the cookies as well........
I wanted to move a bit out the comfort zone of her friends so we decided we would bake cookies for the neighbors. Some of which we know really well and have children around the same age, but some of which we do not know at all. 






We spent one evening baking and decorating. All the while telling her we are doing this because we want to love our neighbors and this is the way we are choosing to do it. She says she wants to love the neighbors as long as she can eat some of their cookies. (Tough thing for a little one to understand)
The next day we packaged and delivered the cookies. 
This was her favorite part. Because we delivered them during the day a lot of the people in our neighborhood that we don't know work and therefore weren't home. We left their cookies hanging on their door and went on to the next house.
She did great and loved running up to their doors.






What a fun way to start off this Christmas season. I love how much she is learning each year and just how eager Logan is to follow her and do all that big sissy does. Don't worry she got to eat a cookie. (You gotta taste test the product ya know!)
Can't wait to find more ways to celebrate the most wonderful season of the year!!
