Those pics of candy toss

So I realized I forgot was lazy and didn't ever upload my few pics from candy toss. I'll have to say it was quite enjoyable being atop a firetruck with our Santa and tossing kids, big and small, candy. My kids and I have done it every year since I joined the firestation.
These 2 teenage boys of mine had such a blast as did I. Alli doesn't do the candy toss with us, she hates the sirens and well, with autism it hurts her ears. So she stays with dad or Nana and we go. So my teenage sons and I do our small, but fun part. The best part of our my time doing the toss was hearing my oldest son say, "it makes me happy seeing the kids happiness". Yes this from the child I had to go over flip pages with in elementary to learn to read facial expressions, and who hated loud noises just as much as his sister does. Yes this is my other child with "autism" and he has come leaps and bounds. Whether or not he has autism it would have still made me beam with the comment he made to me. The fact that he has autism only made it a sweeter moment.
My youngest also had a blast and it touched him when he saw a small girl glow after capturing Santa's attention.
When our season of candy tossing ends we get a little bummed, but we remember we have next year. I hope the older they get they still want to go with me like they do now. I get excited at the innocence of children when they see Santa - I think it's what keeps me so young :) lol
