It's a Snow Day........and Christmas is coming soon. How exciting! Boy, am I behind though. It has been such a long time since we have all gotten together. We are planning to celebrate Christmas this year on the 21st at around 1:00. As you know, we decided not to do the usual gift exchange for grown ups. But there are plenty of kids to give gifts to.....for anyone interested.
Here is the run-down: Ruth (14), Riley (7), Kayden (5), Alyssa (will be 4), Gavin (2), Liam (2), Hunter (will be 1), Arden (1 month), and Fallon Wilkes (due Jan.29th). If any parents would like to make suggestions, feel free to add those as comments. Don't forget Dad/ Grandpa.
One of our family projects on the 21st is going to be a constructing gingerbread house competition. We will be working within each of our family units...so you may want to do some studying up.
Everyone was so inspiring with ideas to replace the gift exchange. It brought to mind one of my favorite movies, "Pay it Forward". I was thinking how blessed we are to each be an important piece of the whole Benson Family puzzle. Like the little boy in the movie, I think each of us should take the opportunity this Christmas season to "pay it forward". Each of us has unique talents and interests. Maybe during this season we can take a look around and notice some things we can do to make a difference in the lives of those around us.
