Christmas, Part 1

Kennedy's class at Legacy Elementary School had a Dr. Seuss-themed day as the last day before Christmas vacation. "The Grinch" had been taught and read to all the kids in school, so each kid was allowed to dress up like a character from the movie. Of course, we attempted "Cindy Lou Who"... the little blonde girl. Turned out pretty cute! Kennedy and Cassidy Wilson were the only girls in Mrs. Ward's class who attempted this crazy hair!

Then each child was given a letter, hand written by one of Santa's elves! Mrs. Ward read aloud each child's letter. It was SO sweet!

Another new tradition we participated in was with our church, The Simple Church. Families were asked to pick up an empty box and a list of groceries to purchase for a family in need. What was unique about this project was that we were also asked to take it to a home of a family. It was truly a humbling experience. We talked to Kennedy about it being our duty as humans to help those in need.

(And never mind the fact that Kenned was wearing a princess dress. She was getting ready to see a princess movie and wanted to dress the part.)
