December 18th

Today our advent activity was performing random (and not so random) acts of kindness.  This activity required some planning, so yesterday the boys got to work.

 At 6:30am we started.  Act #1 Thank you to the garbage collector.  We left him a box of treats.  He must have liked the sign because he took that too!  Or maybe he thought it was garbage??? :)

 Act #2 Last week when Daddy was on a business trip in Medford, he stopped by GG's house and hid a present.  Today we Skyped with her and told her where to find her surprise. 

 Act #3 Took a gift certificate for a nights worth of babysitting to some friends who could use a night out.

 Act #4 Brought some of our favorite Ray's Food Place employees flowers. 

 This was fun!

 Act #5 Returned shopping carts

 Act #6 Took coffee to Daddy and Grandma at work.

 Act #7 Made treats and took them to the secretary at Daddy's work. 

Act #8 Brought our special friend who was having a rough day a little gift to brighten her day. 

 Act #9 Handed out flowers to some lovely women in the nursing home.

 Act #10 Donate some clothes to the Mission.

Act #11 Donated dog food to the Humane Society.

 While we were there, we got to visit some of the animals.

 Pierce loved the kitties. 

 Act #12 Took a meal and gift to a new mommy and her precious baby!

 Act #13 Delivered gifts to some of our little friends.

Here is a close up of one of the gifts.

 At the end of the day, we went out for ice cream to celebrate our fun day! 

 But guess what?!?  We found one more act of kindness.  There was man at the ice cream shop that we found that really needed a warm dinner. 

So Act #14 Bought someone dinner.

What a great day!  There were many wonderful moments throughout the day and this was by far the best advent activity of the year.
