It was so wonderful to see all of the generous families that donated presents for the Ripple Kids project for the children at Orangewood. What a great example you are setting for your children! It is during these elementary aged years that our children develop many habits that will last a lifetime. Fostering the joy of giving at an early age will instill the importance of helping others forever. You and your children make a difference, and that is worth more than any toy that can be purchased. I wish everyone a happy and peaceful holiday. Enjoy every moment. These "wonder years" during grades K-4 pass all to quickly and will seem like a distant memory before you know it.
