Presents for Project Wee Care

It has been a spell since we last blogged, but for good reason I guess. On top of the usual holiday madness, we were involved in an effort called Project Wee Care. Long story short just over 60 families were blessed with food, sundries and Christmas gifts. I was so proud of how involved our family was from my mom and my sister and her husband to Will and even Jude. I grew up experiencing the beautiful and fulfilling act of giving because of my mom and I thank her for inspiring us to try and teach our kids what giving is all about. The families touched our hearts and many of them stamped a permanent reminder in us to be grateful for what we already have.
Shortly after that effort was over, Will, Jude, and their cousins Grace and Reese adorned themsELVES with reindeer antlers and pulled a wagon FULL of Christmas goodies through the nursing home where my Grandma lived out her life. They brought priceless smiles to about 80 very deserving people. My mom baked all of the goodies, pounds and pounds, with her own two hands. As Will would tell people at the nursing home, "my grandma wakes up every day and bakes".
I was tearfully proud.
