Operation Christmas Child

This year we decided to try something new. You fill a shoe box full of goodies, and the shoe boxes get distributed to kids around the world who probably have never received a present before. I was only going to do one shoe box this year, but it was so much fun, I couldn't stop myself.


It was so much fun gathering all sorts of presents for the boxes. Ava even helped pack the boxes. At first I thought she would have a hard time giving toys away, but she was eager to have other kids get their "birthday presents"- well, close enough.











I'm planning on making more boxes for next year. This time, I'll have the whole year to collect a lot of little treasures :).
