A Mother's Proud moment

Last night as we were settling down to read bedtime stories Allen was talking to the kids about how this morning he was going to go to work early and go shopping with some kids who didn't have anything for Christmas. (The Shop with a cop Program) As Allen was explaining it to the kids Carson's eyes got really big and he jumped off our bed and ran into the kitchen where I was and asked me for a ziplock bag. I gave him one and he was off to his room. I had no idea what he was doing. Then I came and joined the gang in my room and Allen held up a ziplock bag with a dollar bill and some change inside of it. Carson wanted Daddy to give his money to the kids so they could get something extra from him. Our emphasise this season has been about giving to others and not being selfish. I guess he really picked up on it. My eyes got a little teary-eyed as I hugged Carson tightly and thought what a big boy he is becoming.

A little note on Ellie Belly. She has managed to redecorate our Christmas tree every day since we put it up and has managed to break about 6 ornaments. It is a good thing that we get a new ornament each year.
