Santa at Grandma's Work


Grandma invited us to visit her at work today. They were having a special charity event. Kids that were 3 - 5 years old were being bused in from a local homeless shelter. The residents & workers had gathered money and bought presents for each of the kids. They fed the kids lunch, had a presentation with Mickey, and then Santa and his elf gave big bags to each kid. We had explained to Lexi and Jordan that there would not be any gifts for them. This was a special day for the kids and we were just there to have fun. They both seemed to understand perfectly.

As it was wrapping up, we decided to check out the HUGE nativity collection that one of the residents had on display. It is the entire town of Bethlehem, which was very neat.

Volunteering for Homeless Kids


Lexi was a volunteer at Grandma's work today. The facility brought in a bunch of young homeless kids to entertain them and give them presents. Lexi agreed to help Santa pass out presents. She must have worked hard because when she came home she was exhausted.
