Giving Christmas
Every year we adopt a family through Giving Christmas – Sioux Falls, SD on Facebook. With the generous hearts of all of our members and staff, we have been able to bless 16 children with gifts they wouldn’t have otherwise received. And we are doing it again this year!
To participate – we have ornament tags hanging on the tree at the studio.
-
- Take a gift tag off the tree. KEEP IT.
- Purchase the item and tape the tag on the item.
- Bring the item back to the studio with the tag taped to it.
- Return the item no later than December 20, 2023.
Family #1 – Husband & Wife with 3 Children
I recently had my third and final child a month early and have been out of work since August. A week after I had her my husband broke his arm and was out of work for 2 weeks. Which put us financially behind as we were already down to one income in our house. We have been struggling to catch up on our bills and with a new baby it’s been a financial adjustment.
Child 1- Boy 8 years old. Loves all things Minecraft, Fortnite, legos, drawing/art and coding on his computer through his robotics camp.
His favorite color is blue.
Favorite movie is Dr. Strange Movies.
He will not wear jeans – due to a texture sensitivity.
T-shirt & pant size 8.
Shoe size 2.
Child 2- Boy 6 years old. Loves Bluey, Minecraft, legos, science experiements. He loves to be just like his big brother so they tend to share similar interests
His favorite color is “diamond” light blue.
Favorite movies are Marvel or Lego movies.

Family #2 – Single dad with 2 girls & 1 son
Dad is a single dad who works nights at Walmart. They do not have a car. The girls are very girly girly and without a mom in their life, we are excited to shower them with all things girly! Plus, the oldest child is the only boy, so I imagine a lot of responsibility falls on him. The wishlist for this family is a bit higher ticketed items – we asked the children to complete the form themselves.
