Advent Angel Program

Today our church assembled and delivered approximately 160 Christmas baskets which included food and toys. I have volunteered for the past few years, and look forward to helping each year. I usually help pack the bags of food, this year I helped with the gifts. We were short on drivers this year so Vihaney and I delivered to 6 families. Thank God for Vihaney, she speaks spanish and most of the families are spanish speaking only. Chuck, Corey and Amber usually help, but this year it was only Vihaney and myself. Corey came down with the stomach flu Thursday nite, so he stayed home. He was disappointed -- he said he looks forward to Christmas every year because he enjoys doing this. Next year Corey! Both Chuck and Amber had to work today so they missed out also.

Delivering these food baskets really puts things in perspective. You don't appreciate how much you really have until you see those with less. It's definately a good lesson for kids to be able to see how much they have compared to others. I know it's made mine appreciate things more. May God bless all those families we delivered to and to all the people who helped make the program run smoothly.

Finally! We're Elfed!

I finally figured it out! We've been elfed!



Not too much going on today. Corey and I made rockyroad candy. I made biscochos last weekend, will try to make more this weekend. Tomorrow is my daycare Christmas pary, we'll be making peanut butter cookies and iced sugar cookies.

We Got Elfed!! NOT!!

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to load my We Go Elfed! video. Everytime I try, it tells me that the upload failed. Any ideas? I have the video on the desktop of my computer, it lets me double-click to upload, but after waiting for the upload I get a failed message. Now I know why I don't post that often -- I get more frustation out of it than anything. Oh well.
