Sub For Santa

Merry Christmas! I feel so good today! I'm so very thankful today for the opportunity our family had to help organize Heart2Home's sub for Santa. We were able to Gift 38 families last night. It was amazing to pick up all these gifts and see the love that went into each of these families' gifts. Very very humbling. The party was great. ROC came and performed for us. Santa and his cute elf, Pat were there as well. The kids were so excited to see all the packages lined up. It was such a good feeling there. The real spirit of Christmas... Giving!
Ethan & I went to Greg's office to pick up some packages. They had an assembly line! I've never seen realtors work so hard. J/K! But for real. Their conference room was FULL. They ended up with a HUGE gargbage bag full of extra toys that we gave to a shelter after the party! Thank you Prudential!
Here's another amazing Elves' kids showing off her trunk! Deb took on almost half of the list! She was amazing! Thank you Deb for all you do!
My little Elves, Ashon, Nikki and Ethan. They were given the task of handing Santa the right bags for each family. They did a great job! I have a feeling Santa is going to reward them Christmas morning for their help!
Kathy Cahoon read an amazing story. There were lots of tears. My kids were very touched by the story. On the way home they retold it to us. I was amazed at how much they listened.
Here comes Santa! And now for the fun part. Here are some of the sweet children that were helped. They were beautiful, sweet and amazing! I cry just looking at their pictures. They've been through alot. Many are still struggling. Many were very ill, some couldn't make it as they are patients at Primary Children's. Merry Christmas to you all! I hope we were able to give you some hope for your futures! Bless you!






These cute kids were so excited to dive into their box. So sweet!
Merry Christmas from the whole Heart2home family!
