Giving Machine and Christmas Carol

We had a fun night. It started at Mod Pizza. Then we finally made it to the giving machine. We had gone by a few nights ago to see what we wanted to buy. The giving machine is one of 4 machines that the church has put over the world. It is a vending machine where you can put money in and choose what you want the money to go to and then the church will make sure that item gets donated to somewhere in the world. The kids each got to pick something they wanted to donate. Emmy wanted to donate a goat (of course) and so she spent part of her money to pay for half of it. We helped the kids donate what they wanted, and then I was standing there and thought of grandma and had to donate a sewing machine. Hopefully someone will use it as much as she would have:) After that we crossed the street and went to see Christmas Carol. This was the first year we took the kids. Rook was a little restless but I think the rest of the kids really enjoyed it.
