This year was a little different with our family. We decided to only buy one gift for everyone, so we drew names from a hat. It actually was really fun, and great to be able to put so much thought into one gift! Instead of spending money on each other, we put that money towards sending gifts through Canadian Food for the Hungary to less fortunate families in Africa. We were able to send two family packages, an Agri Combo that provides one family with a pig, 4 rabbits and fruit trees and seeds to plant! How awesome! The other combo we were able to get was a Family Combo which will provide another family with medical coverage for a year, school supplies and money for their kids to go to school and also some fruit trees and seeds to plant some great gardens! It is so much better to give than receive, and I really have been feeling that this year.
It was a really fun night, and will most definitly be treasured as times to get together will be far and few between from now on! I just love my family! I hope they know that.
I took some pictures of the night. Maegan and Jordan kept telling me to stop taking so many pictures! haha I didn't care! You can NEVER take too many pictures!
