One of our favorite things that we love to do for the holiday season is make shoeboxes for Operation Christmas Child. If you haven't heard of this before, or haven't every particpated in this project...please, please, please go to this link and check it out: http://www.samaritanspurse.org/index.php/OCC/. I promise if you particiapte in this you will be so blessed by giving to these sweet children.
The organization takes these shoesboxes and delivers them all around the world to children who really have nothing. It helps bring them stuff they need and also share with them the love of Christ. Chris and I hold a very special place in our hearts for children who are less fortunate and especailly those in under developed countries. So we always make this a family project and one we look foward to.
In the years past, all of us always go and shop for the stuff to put in the shoeboxes but this year the way things worked out Chris and I ended up doing the shoppping on a date night we had the other week.

All the stuff laid out and ready to pack. When I looked at everything I thought I bought way to much stuff and we won't be able to get all of it in the boxes. |

Since Bree is gone Katie was my big helper and she put everything in the boxes. We had to call Daddy in for his packing expertise. He has an amazing ablilty to pack a lot in a small box. :) |

Still working on getting everything in there. We didn't want to have to leave anything out. |
