The spirit of Giving

This year Toby decided we were going to bake some cookies and take them to our local police department. He suggested taking them to the police officers on night shift. He said people give them goodies during the holiday season but the night shift guys get stuck with nothing or very little. Alexandra was so excited!!! We baked the cookies and Toby took her to the police statioin in Rockwall to give them their goodies. Two Rockwall officers came out to take the cookies. They had these stuffed animals with fleece blankets to give her. She was so excited they could hardly understand what she was saying to them. Then they asked her is she had a sister or brother, of couse, she said sister and they gave her one to give Avery, too! She told them the cookies were for them and the could eat them now if they wanted. It was great to see her face! Next year, we plan on giving to the police officers and letting Alexandra chose an angel from a tree to give to as well. It is time to show her what the holiday season is all about.
