In the spirit of giving...

Terry & I were so proud of the girls this morning!  They walked up to the Director of Youth Services at church this morning with the bag full of books and an envelope of money that they collected at their luau party yesterday.  Olivia told her where the books came from and who they were for, and she thanked them both with a hug.  The girls felt really good about the gift they gave.  Olivia even said to us in the car on the way there this morning, "we are giving to God".  

The teacher in the nursery at church told us what a BIG helper Nora was with all of the babies this morning.  We are so proud of them for giving to & serving others this weekend.  


Hawaiian Luau birthday party

Olivia is turning 6 and Nora is turning 3~so Terry & I threw them a luau at our house this weekend!  We decorated the kids in leis, flowers, and sunglasses.  They decorated foam visors, made Fruit Loop necklaces, and hula-hooped the afternoon away!  Instead of accepting gifts, Olivia & Nora collected book donations for our children's library at church!




Sister bonding!

The girls have really been sweet with each other lately.  Sharing, helping each other, hugging...  I caught some of these moments on camera.  They'll love these when they're older.  :)
