Our new favorite movie is called, "The Ultimate Gift". It's one of those inspirational movies that makes you want to follow your dreams, be charitable, etc. I recommend it to everyone! At the end of the movie, they had a plug for a "ultimate gift family experience kit" which covers all 12 of the gifts. They said you could do one each month and I thought I could make up my own! So far it is wonderful to have a "theme" for each month, and I am not quite done yet, but I like what I have so far, so for any of you needing ideas here you go:

I Love that movie! What a great idea to incorporate it into your family's life! Melanie you are so inspiring to me, you always give me such great ideas! I will probably be stealing this one! Thanks!
Oh that is such a good idea! That would probably make it easier for us to actually have a family night. It's hard when Creighton has to work every Monday night. But I'll let you know if I have any ideas for your blanks. :) Love you!
