Toy Give Away

The girls got an unbelievable amount of toys for Christmas this year-most of it wasn't from us! When you have lots of grandparents and family members all the gifts add up quickly. We are very grateful for the wonderful gifts, but we also want to instill a giving attitude in the girls. So, this year (and for every year after) we helped the girls go through their old toys in order to decide what they wanted to give away to other children. We filled a big bag with toys and gave it to the church and big box full of toys and took it to Goodwill so that the girls would experience giving and not just receiving. Don't think that either one of them "got it" but they'll understand someday.....

Great idea!! I should have started that when Garrett and Ryan were younger. Now I have to do it while they are at school otherwise everything is their favorite. Funny though, they never miss what I get rid of!!!
