Our Angels..

This year we adopted two "angels" from the Salvation Army. There are lots of organizations that you can choose from, but I choose the Salvation Army because I could adopt the children online. A few weeks before Thanksgiving we choose the children. We got to pick if we wanted a boy or girl and the age that we wanted. We chose both a boy and girl that were 2 years old since Tayten is two and then we received their wish lists.

Not knowing how much Tayten would understand, we told her that we were shopping for her friends. I'm happy to report that even though we had LOTS of toys & clothes in our cart their were NO tears from Tayten. She just kept saying, "my friends" over and over. We got each child 2 outfits, a fleece coat,pajama's, socks, gloves & hats along with the other things they asked for and some extras

So, today was the delivery day. Tayten & I took our items to the Salvation Army this morning. When I got there the parking lot was full and people were waiting outside. I wasn't sure why but they were looking at me like they were ready to attack if I was cutting in line. I soon found out they were waiting for the food pantry line to open. We handed them our bags, they thanked us over and over again and we left.

We had lots of fun shopping for "our friends" and I hope we make some children smile on Christmas morning :)
