This year we are participating in
Samaritan's Purse Operation Christmas Child.
Basically you choose the sex and age of the child,
pack a shoe box full of goodies,
pay a $7 donation to cover shipping costs,
and drop your box off to be shipped to a child somewhere in the world.
{you can read more about the organization here}
I let Avery make all the choices.
Of course she wanted a girl the same age as her!
We then headed off to Target to fill our box.
What did we get?
a pair of PJ's, two pairs of socks, a coloring book & markers, a slinky (pink of course!), a pink ball, some sparkly hair clips, a princess necklace, a small toothpaste and toothbrush...and if you know Avery at all, the box would not be complete without a My Little Pony! We also threw in travel kleenex, a pack of gum and some dum dums. :)
