Sub For Santa

I'm grateful we were able to put together a Sub for Santa project this year again. We haven't had a lot of money with getting Sean's business started but still felt it was important for our boys to know that there are people worse off than we are. So, we requested a family with 2 children this year and went shopping for them tonight for family night. There was a little boy that is 4 1/2 years old and a little girl that is 18 months old. The mom is a single mother living with relatives. She works part time cleaning houses but doesn't make a lot of money. The boys had fun shopping. They picked out a big semi truck loaded with matchbox cars for the boy and some blocks for the little girl. We picked out a shirt and pants for each of them and also a book. The boys put on their Santa hats (I should get a picture of that) and we delivered it to their home. She was so gracious, she invited us in and let us meet the kids and gave us a thank you card and a couple of candybars. The little boy had cut the little girls hair earlier while the mother was working, so she had a bunch of bald spots, it was kinda funny, but such a good experience for the kids and for us to be able to help out a little again.
