We had the opportunity to volunteer again this year for the Salvation Army. Jadyn was so excited to be able to ring the bells again. She would mention it every time we walked past a kettle this Christmas season. Often, she would excitedly tell strangers in the store that she was going to ring the bells again this year. Maya made more of a contribution this year as well. Last year it was so cold and she was only 5 months old so she spent most of the time indoors. This year, she sat content in her stroller and even helped ring the bell a few times.
Our friends joined us for part of the time this year. It was a great addition because we all sang Christmas carols together. Needless to say, after they left and I took the girls inside to warm up for awhile, Nathan said it was a tough crowd! He tried singing at first by himself (what a trooper!), but realized a one man chorus was not going to cut it.
We enjoyed having the opportunity to serve and hope to be able to do this every year together as a family.
