For some time now one of our Christmas traditions has been to go to dinner at the Mission Inn in Riverside for a very nice family Christmas dinner. But this year we decided to change it up a bit! Instead of going to dinner as a family, we chose to make dinner for some local families! These families have children who have some health challenges and are here in town receiving care at Loma Linda hospital. It was a fun twist on our tradition. We got the kids involved and everyone helped out. I think we've found a NEW Christmas tradition!
Casey, Reese and Chase were our official cookie taste testers!
Cameron, Mariah and Ethan all helped cut out, bake and decorate the Christmas cookies for the families!
Dylan, Jake and Michael wrapped the boxes to be packed for each family!
We all went together to deliver the enchilada dinners to the families. What a blessing it was to meet them! They are all so brave despite the unknowns that lie ahead for their children. It was a great reminder to thank the Lord for the healthy children we have and teach them to have compassion for those who need encouragement.
