Donation

Christmas time to my family is more than just receiving gifts. It's also about giving to others. So every year, we go through the kids toys and donate the toys they don't play with or have outgrown. We usually give the items to Goodwill. This year, when I was explaining to Hailey that it was time to go through the toys and find the ones she wants to give away, her thought process was really jump started. She wanted to know what happens to the toys. I told her that Goodwill will sell the toys at a very low price. She was so upset! She wanted to know... If boys and girls can't afford the toys, then why are they having to buy them, even at a cheaper price? So I did some research, made some phone calls, and came up with a place (Thanks Dee Dee!) that will give the toys away! Hailey was very excited by this! So, today we went through the toys, loaded them up and off we went to Arlington Mission. Both kids did great. They helped us unload the bags and hand them over. But of course Hailey had a brief moment of sadness. But once we reminder her of getting new toys for Christmas, she was all better.
