This year instead of the kids drawing each others name to buy a gift for we decided it would be fun for them to buy for a child in need. Matt's work has trees with children's wishes for Christmas. These are Foster children who will not be with their parents on such a wonderful day. Last week I took all 3 kids into the casino to browse the trees to pick out the perfect child to buy for. Chase made a comment while looking that just broke my heart. He said "Wow Mom there are a lot of kids that don't have Mom's and Dad's!". They took their time and chose the right child to buy for.
Then it was off to shop! Kelsey shopped for an infant girl who needed blankets, Chase chose a boy close to his age that wanted ABC books, and Sadi chose a 2 year old who wanted a baby (for a girl that doesn't like babies this was a stretch for her). They had fun shopping and I was surprised they did not ask me to buy anything for them. 
So far we are off to a great season!! Let the giving continue.
