So I took Kade with me to deliver treats Dayna made for my home teaching families. He likes to run down the street, stopping every once and a while to stomp in the snow or look at a house with Christmas lights. The first house we went to, they weren't home. The 2nd house, Kade gave the family the Christmas treat and said "Merry Christmas." As we were walking to the next house, Kade wanted to hold one of the treats while we walked. So I gave it to him. As he was running up the street, a woman was walking to her car. Kade ran up to the stranger and handed her the Christmas treat. She thanked him and tried to give it back, but it was so cute, I wouldn't let her. Besides, we had an extra one since the people at the first house weren't home. We went to our third house and when they opened the door, Kade handed them the Christmas treat and said "trick or treat!" As we walked down the driveway, Kade asked for more to deliver. So we went home, picked up a couple more treat bags and went to our next door neighbors. He handed them the treats, said "Merry Christmas" and "I'll see you, Buuuuyyyyyee." He asked to deliver more, but that was all we had. It was heartening to see my son excited to give to others at the Holidays. What a great kid! Now if only we can get him to eat vegetables....
