The Christmas heart.... is a giving heart, a wide open heart that thinks of others first....
It's not about what you get; ...it's about what you give... My girls received lots of presents from us , family , friends and Santa... They get to have the magic moment of going to bed with anticipation and then waking to many gifts under a beautifully decorated Christmas tree ...They truly enjoy their Christmas morning.. But there is more to Christmas than "getting" ... i show the girls we pay it forward.. and give back what we have been blessed with...and make something good happen out of all the hurt . We adopted a precious family for Christmas..Guadelupe (the mommy) Martine ( the dad) Ezequiel (14 yr. old boy,) Itzel (10 yr old girl) Michael (4 yr. old boy) Cathy (2yr. old girl) Yaretzy (18month old girl) . Christmas day we brought cheerfully wrapped new toys we bought for them, stuffed animals , clothes , supplies, blankets, pillows, food etc...the girls played with all the children.. i am very proud of them..they are learing the meaning of "Giving Back" Gabi, Bella, Vada and Teya.. on their own went through all their stuff and filled bags of their things, gave it to the children and they even gave some of their new things they just got from Christmas....We had a great Christmas Day with this family.. The day after Christmas we took the family shopping to Walmart with the very generous gift certificate from my dear new amazing friend Robin ... and with the help of my sweet friend Rocky and "like family from Guatemala" Maritza...We took Yaretzy for a haircut and ordered pizza for everyone for lunch.. Itzal was thrilled , she said she hasn't had pizza in over a year...it was another great day with this family.. Despite this families desperate situation... the family felt blessed and was very grateful for the magic of Christmas this year....and little do they know they blessed our Chritmas ..with their smiles , happiness in their eyes and our new friendship...
