Shopping For a Cause - BBBS

The girlie and I had so much fun this past Saturday.

We woke up way too early so that we could go shopping.

This time it wasn't for us, we were asked to be volunteer shoppers

for the Big Brothers Big Sisters Snowball Shopping Event.

We had to meet our littles by 7 AM, so it was a super early morning.

Breakfast was provided to all who participated,

and then we were shuttled to our local Target store to go shopping.

We were greeted by the most adorable elves,

who just so happen to be K9 police dogs. 

The event is sponsored by several organizations,

but the police/sheriff, local fire department, and 

Target were major sponsors. 

The littles were allowed a $200 budget,

and the gal we had was so sweet and frugal.

We shopped our hearts out for 2 hours before 

she finally had found enough to come close to meeting her budget. 

Lexx had a super little.

This cute little one didn't want to wake up to go shopping.

She was mad at Santa, and asked her mom

why Santa had to wake up so early when 

it wasn't even Christmas.

She eventually got in the Christmas spirit,

and by the end of the event was sporting

two headbands she had picked out at once.

Lexx and I had so much fun,

and plan on doing it again next year.

It was only 3 hours out of our day,

and the children appreciated everything 

they were able to buy.

It was definitely a fun 3 hours!

So have you volunteered lately?

If so, for what cause?
