Some friends from church had the idea for our kids to hand out hot chocolate and candy canes at a local grocery store just to tell them "Merry Christmas" and offer an opportunity for us to teach our kids to think of others and not just ourselves. I wasn't quite sure how it would turn out with two 5 year olds, one 4, four 3s, one 2, and two infants (see, you're not sure either! Haha) But it was a huge hit! The kids had a blast, and the people coming in and out of the store sure seemed to enjoy seeing and talking to our kids. The kids were not content to leave until every last candy cane was passed out (or they eaten them!) Some were more shy than others, but they all spread Christmas cheer to all we saw that afternoon!
How cute are these shirts??? Jess had the design from their recent trip to Disney, so we took advantage of it and had super cute shirts for school Christmas parties. After we school we headed to the grocery store, Sunflower, to hand out hot chocolate.
Most of the crew. I was so proud of them.
In action. "Merry Christmas, sir! Would you like a candy cane or hot chocolate?"
