Young Philanthropists

Every December the kids and I go to our "secret spot" and harvest mistletoe to decorate our house. We usually end up with a couple garbage bags full of the stuff. If you're going to traipse all the way up there it doesn't make sense to just cut a few sprigs.

We normally give a bunch of it away to neighbors and friends, but this year the kids decided to bag some of it up and sell it on the street corner. In the spirit of the season, we decided that the proceeds would go to purchase something from Heifer International.

They sold 40 bags in a little more than an hour. We all took a look at the online catalog and decided to send somebody a trio of rabbits.

What can I say? They're great kids.
