Anglins

 Christie and Wayne (and boys)

(updated from my original post, just in case you happened to look at that - if you did and already made purchases, no problem)

This is always so hard to figure out, we have been blessed with so much that we don't really have needs and the older I get the less I really want.....

But here in one idea or if you come up with an idea of your own you are welcome.

We like to play card games especially when our boys are home, Wayne says a new deck of cards or two would be nice. We hope to play cards with other friends too once more the covid restrictions are lifted.

We'll let you pick, but some cool cards would be fun. Here is a link to a website, I didn't check shipping so it may not be the best way to go, you can check Amazon too, all kinds of cards on there or look anywhere else you want.

Other then that there really isn't anything I can thing of, so I was thinking maybe what you don't spend can be donated to one of the Light the World Charity Partners. You find them here:

https://www.comeuntochrist.org/light-the-world-2020/give#global-charity-partners

I like the CARE program, but all the programs look good, so any one of them that you want to donate would be fine.

And as I said, be my guest to come with a whole other idea all together!

 Christmas 2020

"And when they were come unto the house, they saw the young child with Mary his  mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh." Matthew 2:11

Thus the tradition of gift giving...

 in celebration of the birth of our Savior.

The Anglins

So Christie has been having fun with home improvements, painting and what not. Kind of thinking 

a gift card to Home Depot or maybe Sherwin Williams might be the ticket.

Just throwing that out there......

might have to come back with an update if Wayne decides to put his two cents in.

This photo makes the walls look gray, but they are actually a mossy green color. Finally pulled down the wallpaper in our home office, painted and redecorated. Should have taken a before photo, it was pretty sad.
