momstown Central Alberta, in other words, yours truly, was very fortunate to be asked to partner with Kelly aka Mortgage Mummi and June of Candy Faces fame, for this great event.
We were treated to some mingling with Santa and Mrs. Claus, cookie decorating, making a few crafts, and listening to Mrs. Claus read some delightful Christmas Stories. All of this in the hopes of teaching our kids what the true meaning of Christmas is, GIVING. In exchange for this amazing morning, we accepted donations to the Red Deer Food Bank and the Christmas Bureau instead of trying to buy a small gift or two for all of our friends and their kids.
Kelly wrote an amazing blog post, so please go read her recap AFTER you finished reading mine! (smile)
It is so important to me, that my girls grow up being thankful what they have, and sharing this with others. Even if these "others" may never know it was them that helped them out. Getting to "hang" with the Clauses made the event more fun then just dropping off the gifts, but it was all in the same spirit of giving.
I have so much more to say on this topic, and especially how it relates to our family, but I will save that for a blog post on another day.
In the meantime, please enjoy some pictures from this great event we were lucky enough to be apart of.
