Operation Christmas Child
Each year the kids pack a shoe box filled with gifts for Operation Christmas Child. Their box goes to a child in need who is their age somewhere around the world for Christmas. So today we made the annual trip to Wal-Mart to shop for the gifts! Here are some pictures of our kids packing their boxes and writing letters to the kids who will receive the boxes. What an awesome lesson for the kids as well as the adults each year!

Camping in Atlanta
We went camping over the weekend in Atlanta. We stayed at the campground at Stone Mountain. The weather was gorgeous and the leaves were beautiful! Our campsite was right beside a huge rock. It was the best playground for the kids!

It was fun to visit with family while we were there. We hiked all the way up Stone Mountain! I seriously doubted Claire would make it to the top, but she proved us wrong. She was the first one to the top and back down! Caleb was right on her heels after his many tree climbing adventures. Connor was a sport just hanging out in his hiker backpack the entire time. Claire's real motivation was the promised ICEE when we reached the top. She just kept repeating "ICEE" to herself and letting us all know she was getting the biggest ICEE they sold...and was not sharing it!
After spending entirely too much time and money at The Bread Beckers, we headed to an amazing playground at First Baptist Woodstock. It was a definite hit with the kids. Even Connor and his cousin Caroline enjoyed the park by hanging out on the baby swings.
