We've been doing small acts of kindness throughout the month of December. It's been a lot of fun! My sweet boys have really enjoyed it. The act of kindness for Christmas Eve is to deliver sweet treats to our local Fire Department. Since Christmas Eve is already full of fun ways of celebrating, I was excited to have a friend invite us to do this act of kindness today instead! So this afternoon two other Mommies, me, and our 9 children delivered cookies, brownies, white chocolate party mix, and handmade Christmas cards to 4 Fire Stations. Out of 9 little ones, we only had one little girl in the group. I'm sure you can imagine how excited all of these boys were to visit the fire station! While it was a lot of fun for us, the fire fighters might have enjoyed it even more than the kids! They were so grateful for our spontaneous visit and the yummy treats. I don't think they get visits like these very often. They seemed absolutely shocked. They just couldn't believe we thought of them. At each station the reaction was the same. One fireman even said, "We don't even know what to say, thank you so much."
And of course, as a way of saying thank you to us, the firemen gave the kiddos a chance to climb in the big Fire Trucks! I was a little worried that the kids would get tired of going into the fire trucks by the fourth station but I was wrong! At each station they acted as if they'd never seen a fire truck before. They were just as excited to see the last one as they were to see the first. It really was a great experience for all of us!
