Mina’s Shoebox Party

To celebrate her 12th birthday, M. decided to host a Shoebox packing party for Operation Christmas Child through Samaritan's Purse. Her friends arrived in the afternoon and fueled up on popcorn and Koolaid. They each brought several of one item to put in the boxes. M. organized all the supplies and then they began. They wrapped the boxes with Christmas wrap, they wrote letters to greet the little girls who would receive them and then they filled them with goodies. These boxes were for little girls ages 2-4, so each one got a cuddly toy, hair treats, toothbrushes and toothpaste and other things little girls might like: stickers, slinkys, hairbrushes, etc. When the boxes were done we had homemade pizza and a birthday cake in the shape of a shoebox!
