We are wrapping and wrapping!

Hey everyone!

Holiday deliveries are going well! The families are so happy to receive this help when we show up. :) Thank you to all of you who continue to amaze me with your generosity and keep showing up with more and more items to wrap! In the past 2 days I have taken 3 more families. :) We have a lot of toys and can wrap them up and get them to these kids in time! I am so excited to be able to tell a liaison yes we can help you when they ask or are just telling me they are looking for presents for children they are finding still. Their faces light up with excitement to know these children will still have presents under the tree.

My friend was telling me last Christmas she went on a delivery on Christmas eve to a house and the family had a miniature plug in tree sitting by the wall plug with one little present under it for the whole family on Christmas Eve. I realize how much I am Blessed to have what I do when I hear these stories continuously. I know that many of you are the same way with the way you continue to jump in and help.

I know I tell you all the time how thankful I am for you all but I feel I just can't say it enough. I am so thankful to have friends like you all. I will try to update over Christmas break after all this hectic wrapping is over and let you know some of the stories we have to share. :)

Have a wonderful day!

L2F serves a meal at local shelter

Last week Elisa, Liz, Mike and I took our children and went to a local shelter to serve a meal to some of the volunteers and families staying there. We took tacos and had a fun night! All the children played bingo before dinner. We made our dinner from a great taco assembly line that Elisa made and then after dinner we decorated sugar cookies that Liz had baked and brought with all kinds of icing and sprinkles.

The family in the shelter had such a good time and were smiling the whole time. Thank you to everyone who donated or prepared food for this event!

Delivery to Afghanistan

I want to thank everyone for donating the deodorant, coffee, candy and chap stick for the soldiers in Afghanistan. The boxes are wrapped up and ready to go. I thought you might like to see a picture of Eric and Marc. This was taken a couple of weeks ago while he was back here. Marc got to see him and tell him we had collected the items for his group. I will let you know when they receive it! Thank you again for your help!
