Every year we kick off the holiday season with our Operation Christmas Child shoebox shopping!
We have done this since the big kids were little, and these kiddos count on this and look forward to it.
So do I!
We set a time last week to head to the dollar store (which is really now the dollar twenty-five cents store, ha, ha!).
These guys are good at this after all these years and fill their boxes easily with things for their same gender and age.
Blake, Addie and I do the oldest age group – as they tend to run short on that age group most often.
We made a plan to pack our shoeboxes and make some homemade cards after dinner that night.
I had filled a box for Blake so that he could join us in the packing part!
It was a fun afternoon and evening!!
I LOVE the holiday season and all the traditions we have – especially the ones where we are giving to or serving others!
Thanksgiving is a mere two weeks and two days away!!
Are you all ready and excited?!
Let the holidays BEGIN!!!
