Gingerbread Houses for Ronald McDonald House Charities

CC's and my gingerbread house for Ronald McDonald House Charities

In addition to receiving Advent calendars and holiday toys, CC is also getting the chance to give back to those in need.

This morning before preschool, CC and I decorated a gingerbread house (above) for Ronald McDonald House Charities, an organization that gives families with hospitalized children housing and other support.

When you make a donation on the website, you can create your own gumdrop-friendly house. RMHC is celebrating The Season of Giving and is hoping to raise $550,000 "to help keep parents and siblings with their sick child this season and beyond."

You might remember when CC and I visited the Ronald McDonald House here in Los Angeles two years ago. It made an impression on my little McNugget, and I want her to continue to know how important it is to help other families.

As a coincidence, we went to McDonald's yesterday. CC kept her Happy Meal box and said this morning that it was her own Ronald McDonald House.
