Operation Joy!

Today Nolan and I volunteered our morning and helped set up for Operation Joy. Throughout the past couple months, boxes have been distributed to local businesses and then are set up in their business. People come in and donate toys to those in need. Kinda like Toys for Tots. They are being distributed to families today so Nolan and I set up the toys and got them ready for distribution. On a side note... our girl scout troop decorated the treat bags to give to the kids tonight, which showed them that helping others in good, as well.

It was great to show Nolan, today, the concept of helping others and explain to him what it was for. He kept saying that his "heart feels sooo good for helping other kids hearts feel good" So so cute!

This is what the holiday's are all about... Helping others and being there for our community. I definitely feel our parents raised us right and lived on the virtue of helping others and those in need. As a kid, I remember going to the local food shelter( luke house) and helping my parents serve food to families in need. This is something that we hope to do soon when the kids get a little older. ( they have age limits on serving in a food shelter)

Happy Holiday's everyone and remember what is important this holiday season!
