The town Spaghetti feed

Our litte town has several families in need this Christmas season. And in true small town manner we have all rallied around to make a merry Christmas for some kids who might go without this season. The town hosted a Speghetti Feed and toy drive. We went and broght a toy with us. After we ate your yummy food they had a girl from the town come on stage and sing a few Christmas Carols. When she was done Bella told me she wanted to go up on stage and sing. And she did! I took a video of her. It is really dark for some reason and sideways but you can still hear her.




Here are some photos of the event!

 Bella loved the food!

Iyla kept running off! Typical 2 year old!

 There is my honey!!!

Here are the toys that were brought. There also was a giving tree. I went over to see waht kinds of toys the kids had asked for and what I saw just stunned me. There were hardly any toy requests. Most of the requests were for blankets, socks, lotion, and bath supplies. It broke my heart to see these. My kids really do have so much and I just felt like I could do something to help. I ended up taking quite a few tags and went shopping! I am also making some blankets. I shared this with a few friends and was overwhelmed with the offers of help. One friend opened her wallet and just handed over some money to buy more toys! I am going shopping again soon to gert a few more things. we can't do much and I wish we could do more.

The toys are due by the 15th. Santa is going to come and help pass out the toys on the 19th. The townfolk we so taken by isabella's singing they asked her to be an elf for the day and help Santa pass out the gifts. I think this is going to be an event to remember. She is well taken care of and she knows it. I think it will be nice for her to get a glimpse on how other kids live. We are truly so blessed and it feels really good to be able togive back.
