We let her help us pick a boy and girl angel from each age group from our church's Angel Tree and then select gifts for the children, some are who are in shelters or whose parents are imprisoned. We spent a Sunday afternoon wrapping the presents together.

Ella was pleased to use her own scissors to help cut the paper

proud of the presents Tomorrow evening, the three of us are going to celebrate our Gould family Christmas with a meal and presents. After the meal is over, we are planning on packing up the leftovers for some homebound parishioners in our church as part of the Aid for Friends program. We are grateful to our parents for teaching us the value of giving to the less fortunate. We are hoping to find other projects that we can do together with Ella where she might be able to interact with some of the people she is helping.
I just love these pictures of Ella and that her parents are teaching her the true meaning of giving. WHAT GREAT PARENTS AND DAUGHTER. We know the angels that you picked will truly appreciate the gifts and the love that went into them.
