Every year I do this is makes me smile!
Helping her decorate at the Ronald McDonald House.
This has been something we have been doing your years, and two days out of there year we come in and take over that place.
Yes, there are still people living there, but if they are not helping they not to get out of the way.
In a matter of hours we transform the place into a christmas wonderland.
Putting up 5 smaller tress (like 8 ft) and one MASSIVE tree, but lets not forget the garland and all the extra christmas stuff we put all over the house. The people who are staying there, absolutely adore this. Some help decorate, because they know they will not decorate there house, and other just admire because it makes them feel a bit more at home.
This year, as i was decorating a tree, two little boys staying there came over and offered to help me. This was the perfect tree for them because it was full of key chains, so they could not break them. These two little boy had a blast, putting 5 key changes all in the same place, but I did not touch them. This was a tree for their house and that is how they wanted it to look.
Yes, this is a bitter sweet moment. There is not a very high moral in the place, because everyone staying there has a sick child. But, when we are there everyone seems to smile.
Well, I hope they enjoy the decorating, because I had so much put putting it up!
Well for me, its off the out door soccer; with a ton of homework yet to start!
