Learning to Help Others

We want to teach the girls about giving to others that don't have as much as we do locally and around the world.  Operation Christmas Child asks people to fill shoeboxes for a boy or girl in another country with sanitary items, fun stuff and candy, etc.  You mark on the box whether it is for a boy or girl and what age range.

I have done it in the past, but this is the first time for Lilah.....so on a Friday night just the two of us went out shopping to fill our shoebox - we bought for a little girl.  We got toothpaste and toothbrush, hair brush & comb, gummy bears & worms, socks, jewelry, t-shirt, crayons, soap, fish washcloth, barrettes.

We filled our box the next day while Ady was taking her nap.....

Sunday was collection day for everyone to bring in their boxes.....

Next Ady will be able to join us in filling a box too.
