On our way to Oklahoma for Thanksgiving Break I was talking with my friend. She suggested that the kids and I come to the church to help decorate some shoe boxes that needed to be filled and mailed via Samaritan's Purse. Most of the younger families make their own boxes and stuff them but some people donate money and everyone chips in and decorates and stuffs those boxes. I thought that that was a wonderful idea. So the kids and I headed to the church Saturday morning.
Macy, Caylea and Isaac taking a break from all the hard work to pose for me.
Carolina and Katelyn working on a box
My Brother in Law Aaron and Lizzie working on a project for their box.
Samuel made a tiger shark on his box :) If you know Samuel than you know that that fits him perfectly!
Caylea and one of her boxes

Caden and his only box :)
My kids made 5 boxes. I decided to pay for shipping them it's not much but I know it adds up and it is such a great cause. I have the tracking code so I will know where they end up. I think it was a great lesson for my kids to think about others that do not have very much. As a bonus they had fun decorating the boxes and hanging out with their friends they had not seen since July.
