Operation Christmas Child

It's never too soon...

So, this year I really want to teach Alexander about GIVING, especially with the holidays coming in a few months... So, we got him VERY involved in preparing a shoebox for operation Christmas Child! If you don't know about it, here is the link http://www.samaritanspurse.org/OCC.asp?MPGID=1

I am hoping it will help him realize Christmas Is about more than HIM getting STUFF, kwim? AND it's a great way to help others!

Here's a picture of him helping me pack the box. We even "named" the child Jonny that we made the box for.
