Tis the Season.....

Emptying out her piggy banks
One last hug for her stuffed animals

......For GIVING!

Ella is such a sweet and sensitive girl. Well in our many trips to the stores she is always seeing the Santa's ringing their bells and collecting money. So I told her what they were doing and explained that not everyone gets presents for Christmas. Then during nap time she started making piles of toys that she wanted to give away to kids who won't get presents this year. The way she made the piles was very precious. She made them into individual gifts and with each item she gave them money. She had emptied out all her piggy banks, which was about $20 because she wanted to give it all to the kids.

I am so blessed that she actually understands it is better to give than receive.
