Shoe Box Packing Party

Last year we started taking part in Operation Christmas Child. A Samaritan's Purse program that packs shoebox sized boxes of Christmas gifts and then ships them all over the world to children who otherwise might get nothing. We were so excited to learn a few months later, that our 3 boxes had reached 3 small boys in Mexico. What an easy way to bless others!

This year we wanted to make our effort a little bigger so we planned a small packing party with a few of our close friends. With the help of 5 other families, we were able to pack 25 boxes!!

The kids were really excited to be a part of that...for about 10 minutes!



The boys packed boy boxes...the girls packed girl boxes...



Organized chaos...

We can't wait to do it again next year!!
