Salvation Army Weekend

Last weekend, the kids participated in their fourth annual Salvation Army weekend with Aunt MerMer and Granna.  The big kids got to get out of school early on Friday to go shopping for the angel we had picked.  She was a 5 year old little girl who wanted a new bike.  After lots of shopping, they were treated to a pizza dinner before going to the Cleburne Christmas parade downtown. 

After the parade, they came home and watched A Charlie Brown Christmas before heading to bed.

Granstan surprised them with donuts for breakfast the next morning!

After some playtime with cousins, they bundled up and went to the park to play for a little while.

The Salvation Army wasn't open on Saturday so Lily helped Granna deliver all the presents on Monday morning.

 

I am so thankful for this tradition that Meredith started so many years ago with the kids.  They always look forward to it and I'm glad that we can help a little girl have a good Christmas!  What a wonderful lesson for the kids to learn at an early age!
