Wednesday nights around here are, historically speaking, family nights. We try to do something all together after dinner, usually watching a movie since SweetPea is a little young for board games still and PorkChop can be held during a movie. Every once in a while, we shake things up though and do video games or out to do something. Since this is our Christmas countdown, we have decided to introduce (or share an old favorite) holiday movie.
Which is great for being together as a family but it doesn't give back much for Christmas. So today, the littles and I made some holiday cards for the heroes in our lives.
Tomorrow, when these dry, our bigs will be writing messages inside. Three will be sent on Friday to those serving overseas that will not be home to celebrate with their families. One will be delivered with cookies to our local police station. One will be delivered to our local firehouse along with a home-baked good. The third will be left in our mailbox along with some chocolate covered pretzels for our mail woman.The treats will be made in the coming week/s but I wanted to get the cards done now. I am anxious to see what kind of messages the bigs write since I am not going to be helping them compose. I want them to reach into their own hearts to give thanks.
