Now it's time to fill them up! It is fun to imagine what little boy or little girl might open the box. We also enjoy packing special gifts they would like having. We always pack candy, a toothbrush and toothpaste in each box. Then it's always a mixture of fun and practical items. I picked up my my clear boxes at Dollar Tree. Now it’s time to fill them up!

(We were glad for the extra hour :-) I was afraid it would be gone later today. We are going to start this weekend after the bazaar at my grandparent's church where we always find a few things we "need" for the boxes :-) The kids are so excited!! We also went through the Samaritan's Purse Catalog & the kids are giving up a Christmas Present each so they can buy a goat for a family & some chickens too. (Although Zach said he only wanted to give up one of his presents if we could get some baby chicks too!!)

We are not the well-oiled pro assembly line you are, but the kids are going to use some of their saved birthday money to each make a box. Thanks for the plastic box tip - we'll use it!
