Here we are waiting on the streets in Monroe for the Christmas parade to begin! It was pretty chilly out and we had to wait a bit, but it was worth it. The kids were really excited!
Krimson was holding the basket that we were going to collect our candy in...here it is empty, but not for long!
1/2 way Thur, so far so good!
...and jackpot!! Towards the end of the parade the kids were passing up candy (I know it's hard to believe looking at the basket, but we could have gotten more). The kids had so much fun getting candy, waving at strangers, wishing everyone Merry Christmas, and looking at all the different Santa's that went by!
Now on to the serious stuff! This big RV was holding 6,089 toys for CASA. After we collected candy we headed back to Marc's work and unloaded this RV!!
Here is everyone waiting for the doors to be open.
Marc and Krimson carrying in the first toys!
Look at all the Build a Bear boxes!!! I'm not sure how many times Eden said, "Mommy." She was wanting almost every toy we brought in.
Adam, as always, was a BIG helper. He unloaded the RV down to the last toy and then was a huge help sorting the toys.
Here is the final shot of all the toys we unloaded out of the RV!! Many families will have a Christmas to remember this year thanks to the people who gave all these toys. Marc's work works with lots of families that don't have much and every Christmas Marc's work provides these families with their kids Christmas presents!!
Merry Christmas!!!
