Tonight Mikaela and I went shopping for a shoe box of treasures to send to a child that lives in a third world country for Christmas. Operation Christmas child is an organization that heads this endeavor and thousands of boxes are sent every year to needy children. We shopped together last year as well and had a really fun time together.
Before starting out on our shopping endeavor we stopped by our favorite restuarant, Valentinos, and ordered our favorite meal, lasagna so that we would be ready to shop.
After having a delicious supper of lasagna and garlic rolls we headed out to the perfect store to buy lots of treasures that a young girl might want.
This Dollar Store is really big and has almost anything you could want.
We took the shoe box into the store with us. Last year we just put things in the basket and we ended up not being able to fit everything in the box.
This is our treasure stash. We got note cards, play dough, band aids, tooth brush and toothpaste, hair brush, wash cloth, small towel, daily planner, a squishy toy, some pencils, tape, a craft kit, and a slinky toy. The total came to $19. That is a pretty good bargain I would say. I pray that it will be a blessing to the child who receives it.
