So, I will share with you the letters that sent to my kiddos each month. I sent one each month to all of my kids, plus every single one of my children have gotten a handwritten response letter to letters that they have sent me during the last three months, as well. Some of the kids even have gotten two. All of the letters that I share today, were sent by email to all of kids, both Compassion and World Vision. However, Compassion has fun templates, so I will share with you a screenshot of the letters. I will just share the front page, to give you an idea of the topic.
In October, I wrote to my kids about my best friend's wedding. I was in the wedding, as a bridesmaid, so I shared that with them. I wrote about some of the things that happened during the wedding and about some of the details of the reception afterward. Of course, I attached photos of the beautiful day, as well.
In November, the boy that I nanny for turned 3 years old. He had a party at Chuckie Cheese for his family and family friends. I told them about how Chuckie Cheese is an arcade and how we ate pizza and played many games.
This month, there was a giant Christmas concert at my church. My church hosted and invited three other churches from the community, to come and sing, dance, and worship together. It was a great event and I thought the kids would have a great time hearing about it!
So there you have it, my letters from the last three months. What did you write about in October, November, and December? I would love to hear about your topics, and maybe get some ideas for myself!
What fun topics!!!!! I know your kids will enjoy these glimpses into your life. In November I shared about our friends' recent adoption!! I think our kids will enjoy hearing about that since they hear about our friends quite frequently... They now have two kids the same ages (approximately) as Juanito and Rosie!
ReplyDeleteWhen I write the same letter to all of my kids, I try to make it a glimpse into something fun that happened that month. However, there are some months that I don't do anything fun. That's when I share a bible story or something more general.
DeleteYour friend's adoption sounds like a great letter topic!
