Saturday evening I attened a Toys for Tots party given by Bev and her husband Randy. They do this every year at their home. They ask friends and family to drop by and bring an unwrapped toy for under the tree or some canned goods.. All of the items collected are then dropped off at a local Toys for Tots location and food pantry.. Bev and her husband decorate inside and out so you can't help but feel like it's Christmas. Bev even dressed as Mrs Clause.
Bev cooks and bakes for days before. Besides the dining room table loaded with food there is little tables scattered about with yummy treats
The tree is decorated and beneath it is toys for all ages. ...boy or girl. There were dolls, trucks, games, stuffed animals, musical toys and so much more
Here is one of her cute snowman decorations. Love his happy smile.
There is always a warm feeling when you give to others .
This is an awesome idea...her spread looks wonderful! A true hostess!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful way to celebrate the season and do something wonderful for the community at the same time. Looks like there were many toys collected. They are wonderful neighbors to host such a worthwhile event.
ReplyDeleteOh What a Wonderful Idea...
ReplyDeleteI love it so much thank you for sharing with me. I love Bev in her Mrs Claus costume, and she really is Mrs Claus collecting toys from her elves to pass on to Santa. So beautiful sweetie. This is such a great cause. It gives me hope that there are still children out there getting a little something for the holiday. There are so many who have no hope because they have never received. I adopt a couple of children from the mall trees. It is such a wonderful feeling, and their wants are usually so small. We can all do a little something.
Again, thanks for sharing. God bless you all. Country hugs sweetie...Sherry

That is such a wonderful and cheerful way to spend the evening. I attended many parties like that when I lived in Cordele, GA, and then would help sort everything by age and deliver it. Gives you such a warm feeling to know you are doing something important to help a child have a happy holiday! Wow! Bev certainly had lots of food and goodies there. It all looks fantastic! Love ya, Tammy
