Operation Christmas

















This year we did a project called Operation Christmas Child.  How it works is you take a shoebox and pack it with presents for a girl or a boy according to their age.  Then Samaritian Purse sends it to a child that probably wouldn't get a present that year. 

First we went to Walmart and bought toys, school supplies and toothbrushes, toothpaste and t-shirts.  Then we wrapped the shoebox and filled it with the stuff.  We wrote letters and sent a picture of ourselves.  Maybe someone will send us a letter back.   Then we took them to Harris Prairie Church and dropped them off.  They will pack the shoeboxes in bigger boxes and send them to North Carolina.  From there they will go somewhere in the world.

Yo Tengo Gozo


We are learning Spanish on Monday nights and here is a song we have improvised. We used a special effect to make this! Our new macbook allows us to make all kinds of videos.
