Their first savings account

Right before Christmas I took the girls down to the bank to set up their very own savings account, with their very own money.  Callie was very excited about this, and I guess Chloe was too- just excited to be going somewhere!

Our banker, Mikey, got us all set up

Callie brought her piggy bank so she could count her change in the coin machine.  One rule in our house is that you save 10% (savings account), give 10% (church), then you are allowed to spend the rest on what you’d like.  In this case, Callie wanted to buy daddy’s Christmas present, a pair of brown shoes and a watch.  Its amazing what $20 bucks can get you when you own a clothing store ;)

I was glad  both girls enjoyed the experience of putting money in the bank and saving, just hope this will continue for a long time to come!

This is one of the cutest blogs ever. That picture of Callie with her piggy bank is priceless!
