Day 16 : give toys away.

There's a bunch of ideas on Pinterest about "Santa sacks", where your kids fill up a bag of out-grown and/or under-used toys to leave for Santa under the tree.  Since the little ladies are well acquainted with Goodwill and the idea behind it, we just gathered up toys that were "not our favorites anymore", in V's words. 

I was surprised what they were willing to part with and how many toys we ending up donating.  They were excited at the prospect of other kids getting to play with toys that "might suit them better than us".

All very heartwarming.  Like this.  And this.
