For our first day of our Advent Christmas season, our family spent the evening listening to Christmas music and writing thank you notes and cards to our families for ALL of the gifts they so generously and graciously gave to us over the Thanksgiving holiday (our Christmas time with our families). As we always are, we were SPOILED by our families...spoiled not only with material things but spoiled with the time we got to spend with them and by their love.
Even Nathan wrote his own words of thanks which is a HUGE deal because he believes that you only need to tell the person thank you and that should be enough. :)
Ivy and Owen enjoyed coloring pictures to go in some of the packages. Ivy also enjoyed dictating her notes as her Mommy wrote her words down in the cards. She also signed her name and wrote some of her "own" words of thanks, too. Letty was our supervisor only wishing she could get some of that paper into her mouth.
And here are the packages ready to be mailed.
Later in the night, we read John 3:16 and started working on memorizing that verse. Tonight's word to remember was "FOR". Happy December 1st!
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life.
~John 3:16
