Operation Christmas Child

We love Operation Christmas Child. We've only done it once before when Monster Boy was little. But this year we had the opportunity to do it again. I decided to do the box for a girl age 10 to 14. We went to the 99 cent store and got every thing that I'd wanted and more. Here is a list of every thing that we were able to fit in the shoe box...

hat, socks, shirt, scarf, suckers, 4 tooth brushes, toothpaste, gloves, 5 packs of gum, a pair of flip flops, jump rope, 4 pencils, 5 pens, googly eye pen (The Boy picked it special), paper, colored pencils, 2 chap sticks, deodorant, glow sticks, hair pins, and hair ties.

I wish we could have fit more in. We got a second shirt and a second pair of socks just in case we could fit them in. I was bummed that we weren't able to. We wrote a note and included our address so hopefully we'll get a letter back.

I had a lot of fun shopping with the kids and putting the box together with him. Monster Boy is especially excited about it.
