They were so excited when we showed up with a big pile of yummy treats. My children LOVED doing that! Of course, the also loved that the firemen let them have full access to the trucks!

Next year you should check with your food pantry or Salvation Army for a place to help serve food. But I must admit that the idea of choosing people at random was really inspired! Plus taking the time to fill the bags..good job! Your son is a real cutie and I think he's also very tall for his age!

Brady is so sweet, I mean, seriously, and brave too! Going up to strangers... brave, definitely. I think that was the nicest thing. Even regular people need some cheer, not just those who are obviously down and out. I am hoping to do some sort of service project next year with my kids. I think they are wanting to do something for animals (maybe the zoo or a shelter) but we'll see. It is something I really want to do too. Love all those pictures, you look so cute. I get down too after the holidays, I always feel like I missed it, like it went so fast and then it's over. I have never seen the cheese touch game, that would be a favorite here for sure! I just got your card today, I love it, thanks for sending it. Brady is so handsome. Hope your hubby feels better soon so you guys can ring in the new year happy and healthy.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01847539536518547588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-69754647419356111992011-12-28T04:42:35.687-08:002011-12-28T04:42:35.687-08:00I love Brady's heart.

I read about someone else doing what they called Blessing Bags, and filling one gallon sized bags with things like wet wipes, tooth brush, paste, personal sundries, mittens, etc, and handing them out to homeless folks. I thought that was great too. Looks like Brady got some cool gifts. And it was a perfectly normal thing for him to say based on his age!!! Don't fret Mama....I think you have been raising a fine young man there!!!<br />Happy New Year. Hope hubby is better soon!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15578853096888320012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-87136639364598631242011-12-27T18:49:57.924-08:002011-12-27T18:49:57.924-08:00What a wonderful kid.

That is really what Christmas is about, isn't it. <br />I'm glad he gets more presents...I would totally do that if I could. <br />I totally understand the after Christmas blues. I love this time of year. Hubs and I have been putting our heads together, though, and I think we have come up with a way to keep the Christmas spirit alive all year. Will blog about it later.Stefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14735618188851876515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7144575903728372238.post-7719700171397483862011-12-27T17:37:29.380-08:002011-12-27T17:37:29.380-08:00Brady is an absolute sweetheart - he gets it from ...Brady is an absolute sweetheart - he gets it from his Mama I think :)<br />Love these pics and the Red Rider!!
