Spreading Christmas cheer

Although I am always a very proud mom; today was a day that I was floored with pride towards my kind hearted boy. We were sick earlier this week so had to reschedule our good deed from Wednesday until today. Yesterday's act of kindness was "donate toys to Romaro house" We took the day to fill two boxes full of toys that my sweet boy chose to donate. Today we started the day by leaving a thankyou card and candycane for the Garbage man. We then packed up our toys and brought them to Romaro House. It was an amazing experience. The staff were so excited to see Kaiden and what he brought. They took him in and had him show them what he brought. He proudly explained each item and signed his name in their donation book. The lovely ladies gave Avarie and Kaiden ornaments for our Christmas tree as a thank you. They insisted I go out to the car to get a camera to take a photo of Kaiden giving his toys. As we left he said "I want to do that again! How about Christmas eve?" We sure of course! We then headed to a nursing home to help serve donuts to some residents. The staff were very excited to see us and came out to greet us and said "We have been waiting for our helper!" Kaiden handed out donuts to the group and then went room to room handing them out to the bed-ridden residents. Meanwhile Avarie put on a dancing and "singing" show. She was scooped up quickly by some seniors who were quite taken by her! Kaiden then showed everyone how fast he could run and how high he could jump. We were invited to come back and visit anytime :) Here are some photos from our day:
