Week 44

Cute picture eh?? Hard to see who it is behind those cute little bunny masks. That's Paige, Abbie, Emma, Brock, and Jack!!

In March when we were at church volunteering, Jack and Emma offered to make goody Easter bags for the children who came to the hot meal service on Friday nights. Paige has been to church with us before so we thought it was fitting that she and the other kids could help make these bags for the Easter dinner on April 22nd. Inside the bags the kids decided to get pencils, silly bands, stickers, bunny masks and of course lots of chocolate eggs. They worked together as a team and set everything up on the table and made 30 goody bags. We tied them up with a nice ribbon and put them in a big Easter basket, ready for church. Then Paige had a great idea!! She wanted to make Easter cards for all the children that we would hand out the bags to. So the girls sat down for a couple hours and made 30 Easter cards! They did an amazing job. We talked a lot about why they made the goody bags and cards for the children. The families that visit the church for a hot meal on Friday nights may not have enough money to be able to buy special treats, or cards for their families. Paige and the girls quickly realized just how lucky they are!! As I was bringing home Paige that day she asked if she could come to the church too, the following week. So we booked our next date, April 22nd to prepare a hot turkey dinner and hand out the great goody bags they made:) Till next week Paige!! xoxo
