We saved Christmas

We came up with a great plan. We took the Wii out of the box and with some of the other toys that we bought for toys for tots told the kids that we were "giving" to those less fortunate for Christmas.Since most of the homes around us are vacation homes we picked an empty one and ding dong ditched that house.Then we came home put the kids to bed and went back for the toys and Wii box.We then took the real toys that we got for toys for tots and dropped them off at the mall. I was surprised that my kids had no issues giving the wii away.Isn't that just the greatest plan.And I'm glad my kids are to young to read our blog.

That was a great idea!! And how sweet that your kids were so willing to see all those toys and the wii go to other kids!! Can't wait to hear how Christmas morning goes now!! Love you all!
