| The nativity story on teeny-tiny scrolls. Isn't that fun?! |

9. "Adopt" Kids For Christmas Toy Drive
This will be an important tradition in our family. Every year our church supports nearly 600 local children in making sure they receive gifts at Christmas. Why? Because of The Gift we received at Christmas, Jesus. Isaac & I choose the names several weeks ago and "just happened" to pick an Isaac and a Desiree! So off to the store we went and prayerfully picked several gifts for our Christmas Kids. Isaac picked his gift (I knew it was perfect because he wouldn't put it down!) and then got to go through the sacrificial process of giving it away back at the church. He did not care for that...which was as close to the toy-drive goal as you can get with a three year old! We will continue to pray for Christmas-Isaac and Christmas-Desiree and for the absolute miracle of the season to FILL their hearts.
Still 10days left until the BIG day and lots more to see & enjoy...
