Tonight they made bags with toiletries, snacks, and warm clothes for the homeless at roundtable.
Adam also participated in a flag ceremony with his pack there. They have been practicing for months, and Adam was ecstatic about getting to do it, and carry the flag. I sooo wish that I could have seen him, but Josh was one cranky boy tonight.

A family in our ward makes sack lunches and hands them out to the homeless on Christmas Eve each year. I LOVE that! I also read about a tradition where a family decided on a family to gift Christmas dinner with... I LOVE that idea, too. I would like to be involved in those kinds of things, and get my kids involved as much as possible.
I really, really want my kids to be grateful for each and every thing that they have; I try to point out how much we are blessed with daily, but I need/want to do more. Especially this time of year when the "I wants..." come into play.
