We also enjoyed some time with friends making cookies and cards for others. Hannah had some friends from church and our homeschool co-op over for a Cookie and Card Making Party. They made several kinds of cookies and lots of cards. We then packaged them and delivered them to a nearby retirement community. We requested visiting those who would have no family visitors over the holiday. It was a fun and meaningful time as the girls chatted and sang on request to the many residents we visited. The boys tagged along and gave out hugs and waves, which were a huge hit. You could tell it meant alot to the folks we visited and I think the girls were moved by something that seemed so small could mean so much to someone else.
The card makers.........
Caleb loves being part of the action, especially when he realized candy was involved. He took a little break, while snacking on some M&Ms
The cookie makers.........
Here is the gang at the retirement center, getting ready to make our rounds.
