Karen and Bob Rutledge Family

I would like to thank Mark and Amy for the great idea, we had so much fun. I would share pictures, but I lost the card from our camera its somewhere between our house and Bob's parents house. Oh well.

We decided to give to the Loomis Fire Department Toy's for Tots. I had spoken to Bob's Grandma and she said that the little girl she watches after schools mother was saying that she hoped that there would be enough donations this year so that Danielle would be able to receive at least 1 gift. So our family went to our local happy K-mart and purchased around 18 different toy's. Afterward we delivered them to the Loomis Fire Station. When we got there it was nice to see a boy's group donating gifts also. The girls got a chance to talk with the fire chief and visit the new fire station.

Please understand that the city of Loomis is quite wealthy but there is a small area there that is very underdeveloped. It is hard for the kids that barley have food to eat going to school with kids that have everything (driving new BMW's to school) I know that this was always hard for Bob since his family didn't have very much money. We hope that just a little something for those in our little community will uplift those children's spirits and make a difference in there lives.

Hope all of you have an amazing New Year and wish you much happiness.

Love
Bob, Karen, Sonoma, Katelyn, and Olivia
