I have been talking to the kids about serving others, that Christmas is not all about them and "getting presents", but that it is about serving others. Since we used the services of our local fire station twice this year I came up with the idea of making a special treat for the firemen and having the kids take them and sing a carol. When I talked with them about this idea they were so excited and I knew I was getting through to them. So with early release on Friday we made the cupcakes, decorated them and waited for Shane to get home before we headed out. It was a joy to see my children bless others.
Here they all are singing to the firemen who answered the door. LOVE the smiles on everyones face as they sang!
Here is the delicious treat!! I got a little creative...chocloate cupcakes with vanilla frosting piped on with my cake decorator. Then Samantha crushed up all the candycanes and we added green sprinkles and the candycane to the top. We never ate one so I assume they were amazing because they LOOKED amazing!
