Embrace a Family

For the past 3 years I have adopted a family in need to give presents to for Christmas through the Embrace a Family program. This year I involved Westley. Today was the day to drop off the items at the organization's collection site.
I had Westley help me pack up the boxes, and log everything we got. He also helped me add in a few more stocking stuffers and wrap a couple of the presents. While doing so, I explained to Westley that these presents were going to a young mom who doesn't have any blankets or warm clothes like we do, and to a little baby who doesn't have any toys. He jumped in to the giving spirit and kept suggesting things in our house for us to give to them. It was an extra special moment.
