Acting our our Baby Jesus, Mary and Joseph scene with Ashley as the Donkey.
This year we had a special Christmas Eve. We had our traditional dinner, scripture story, and PJ's but then we did some deliveries. We delivered some packages and visited with some people that were all alone on Christmas Eve. We had no idea they were all alone but felt prompted to go and see them. Not only did we make their night but they made ours. I think our kids even caught a little bit of the magic feeling of Christmas that night and realized it is not always about themselves!
This year for our Young Women Christmas night we went to a care center and sang and performed for the members. I took Ty and Valerie along with me and I was sure glad! Ty touched the hearts of some of those elderly ladies as well as mine. He wasn't shy and would go right up to them in their wheelchairs and say Hi. He particularly liked talking to one lady named Gerdy. She could only see really close up. He was at her perfect level. He taught her how to do knuckles and high fives. He even tried tickling her once. We were getting ready to leave when Ty said, "wait we haven't said hello to those two ladies." He was right, we hadn't made it all the way around the room so we went and talked to them. When we were leaving to go home one of the ladies wheeled right up to us and said, "please don't go." It was a touching, sweet night.
