Andrew & Rebecca have sacrificed some of their toys for Lent. Each week they pick a new toy or toys to add to these boxes. Yesterday, we wrapped them up to give to Jesus. They will keep them wrapped up by the crucifix until Easter morning. Then we get to open them! We'll be adding a new box each week until the end of Lent. 
It was so hilarious to see what they picked. Andrew picked a few random items & a bunch of extra stuff from his "special drawer". I'd say his semi & camera are the real sacrifices in there. 
Rebecca was even more random. I don't know that a toy eggplant is really on her favorites list, but she was adamant that she would give it up to show Jesus that she loved Him!

I let them do the wrapping... well, Rebecca needed assistance. Andrew even decorated his own paper. This is Mary because "that's someone Jesus loves" & him because "He loves me, too". 
On the gifttag he insisted on drawing different special symbols: an Ash Wednesday cross, a palm, an Easter Egg, a cross, a manger, & lots of hearts. So cute!
