You may remember the post about needing needy families... Well, I couldn't find any needy strangers to ship to, so I decided to have the girls give to ones close to home. It took weeks of preparation. Jaden decorated lunch sacks with Christmas trees. Then, Jaden and Morgan filled each of the bags with:
1 "The Incredibles" DVD
6 chewy granola bars
and a handfull of small candy canes
I finished them off with a bow and "Merry Christmas!" We did a total of 37 bags!!! Today was the delivery day. I got the girls dressed up in their Christmas outfits, and we delivered the bags to an agency that helps children affected by HIV/AIDS. The agency was extremely appreciative, and they took us back to "Santa's workshop" where the other toys were being wrapped. They had a table with some toys on it (not too many), and our guide told us that they have never had a year where they were able to provide EVERY child a gift. There are always some left out. He said that the gift bags would help fill in that gap because they are useful for every age... Hopefully no child will be left out! http://www.aidsarms.org/index.asp?sect=about
