little sweeties

I was on the Kansas City Plaza last night, ringing a bell for the Salvation Army, and this little sweetie walks by, hand in hand with her mom. She is staring up, mesmerized by the thousands of Christmas lights lining the buildings. She turns to me and says, "thanks for the lights!" I told her, "you're welcome!"

Later, another cute little one was lifted up to the bucket by her dad to drop in her change. Her daddy said, "can you tell her what this is for?" To this the little sweetie opened her big blue eyes even wider and told me, "for people who don't have food."
