They took some time tonight and wrapped each gift. If the recipient was in the room, he/she was kindly asked to step out for a minute. (including the adults, lol!) :-)
I really love how much joy they each get in picking out and wrapping gifts for their siblings and parents. I hope it reinforces that it is truly better to give than to receive. That is what the season is all about: the giving of the most incredible Gift of all: our Lord and Savior.
I hope everyone has a wonderful few days before Christmas! God bless! :-)

That's really sweet! :)
That is nice, my Mother in law offers each year to take my oldest out. We have even gone to the local angel tree to choose an angel the same age as our son. He really enjoyed shopping for them too.
Lil Momma is that Crazy Homeschooling mom of 3 who is happy mowing grass, vacuuming, and even do windows...just don't ask me to be my kids' creative writing tutor check out our family adventures at Five in Training for HIM
How fun! This year I took each of the girls separately to shop for each other - and you are right, it's wonderful that they are so excited to give gifts to others :)
how fun to see their excitement!
Always such bright, smiling faces! Today, my daughters disappeared to the basement. Each wrapped something for the other - but they chose items already in the house - I'm interested to know who is getting who's hand-me-down! Blessings to you and yours.
So sweet! I always loved buying things for others as a kid! It brought me so much joy! It is a great thing you are instilling in your kids!

Isn't that fun!? I love it! Have a wonderfully blessed Christmas my bloggy friend!
What a nice tradition! My girls each bought each other something at Target and they were so excited to give the other their gift--giving is so much better than receiving!
