This is the photo I am using for our Christmas card this year. The picture is from our vacation this summer to Wisconsin Dells. I couldn't find any better photos of all 5 of us -- so this is the one that is getting printed up!  We set the Christmas tree up this afternoon when the kids got home from school. They are so excited to decorate everything in the house. They are 8, 10 and 12 and truly enjoy the holiday season. My hope is to find some way to give to a family in need to teach my kids what the holidays should be about. I'm hoping that our church can help us with finding that family. I'd love to hear ideas on how to teach kids to appreciate what they have. Please leave your ideas in the comments for all to see. :)
