After you were born Dad and I realized how lucky we were to be your parents. That's the year we created the tradition of adopting a family for Christmas every year. It's been something we've taken care of when you were sleeping or in school, but this year we started talking to you about what we were doing for another family and getting you more involved. You even helped us wrap presents for our adopted kids!
The goal is to teach you and your brothers to care and give to others. This year we added another layer to giving to others. Instead of exchanging gifts with our siblings (your uncles) we decided to donate the money to someone or some place that could use it more than us. It was a wonderful gift of giving and really fun to research. Hopefully this will be a new tradition we continue to do. The point of me sharing all of this with you? I hope that each year you become more involved with the season of giving. But more importantly, I want you to know what a positive impact you've had on us. You will do many things in your life that will impact those around you... this is just the beginning.
