Advent Christmas

For Christmas this year, Andrew and I decided to celebrate Advent. the idea is to give gifts that have a little more meaning and don't cost as much. The whole goal being to invest in the people of you life and build lasting memories instead of giving them a gift that will be used up in one shoot or maybe even never used. Then in the end we gave a percentage of our "Christmas" money to a ministry. On my side of the family we had Andrew and Rebecca's name. So for their Christmas gift we bought the ingredients for making pizza. We wanted to do something that the kids could get involved with and really make some fun memories. It was a blast! We had flour everywhere and kids created their pizzas and Rebecca even made a calzone! And believe it or not...it all tasted pretty good! Besides the amazing food, we had some great conversation with Andrew and Rebecca and played with the kids. I am really glad we decided to spend our Christmas money this way. I usually hate giving gifts because I am afraid they won't like it, but this time I couldn't wait to give our gift!
