Here's a peak at what went on at the party....
The kids got their faces painted. That was a huge hit...Marie and Foof were painting faces from 9:30 until 12! And the kids just got a kick out of it. Check out this kid when he looked in the mirror and saw his face....He was so happy!
They decorated mittens and trees...
This is Milton...one of my favorite kids...he's so damn cute!
They saw santa...one of the kids asked santa if he could make her mom have a baby...funny...
Of course, after Santa were the GIFTS!!! Check those babies out....The kids were almost overwhelmed by all the gifts...they were taking their sweet time in there so we had to rush them...
After the gifts, we had a raffle for the parents. We raffled a dvd player with some dvds, 2 $50 gift cards to walmart, and 1 $100 gift card to walmart....the parents loved it!
And here are two of our favorite kids....all of us fell in love with Robert....what a character he is!! And check out that smile and those amazing eye lashes (i want them!)
This is Destiny....the most beautiful little girl! I want to eat that face!!!
And how cute is she?!! Her name is Sierra...what a doll!!
And this lady (Milton's mom) was so thankful! She gave one of the volunteers a hug and said that she loved us and that we have no idea how bad she needed all the things her family got....
I love throwing these parties and making a small difference in people's lives. It's hard for me to imagine the hardships some people go through, but it makes my heart swell with happiness to know that we did something to make them smile!

Oi, achei seu blog pelo google está bem interessante gostei desse post. Gostaria de falar sobre o CresceNet. O CresceNet é um provedor de internet discada que remunera seus usuários pelo tempo conectado. Exatamente isso que você leu, estão pagando para você conectar. O provedor paga 20 centavos por hora de conexão discada com ligação local para mais de 2100 cidades do Brasil. O CresceNet tem um acelerador de conexão, que deixa sua conexão até 10 vezes mais rápida. Quem utiliza banda larga pode lucrar também, basta se cadastrar no CresceNet e quando for dormir conectar por discada, é possível pagar a ADSL só com o dinheiro da discada. Nos horários de minuto único o gasto com telefone é mínimo e a remuneração do CresceNet generosa. Se você quiser linkar o Cresce.Net(www.provedorcrescenet.com) no seu blog eu ficaria agradecido, até mais e sucesso. If is possible add the CresceNet(www.provedorcrescenet.com) in your blogroll, I thank. Good bye friend.
Amazing!! You helped create some beautiful memories for the families of Starfish. Everyone enjoyed the party. The families will be talking about it for weeks. Thank you for shining your light into their lives on a cold December morning. May you all have a blessed Christmas season and a Happy New Year.
