Tonight was our little "Hackney 4 Packing Party" for Operation Christmas Child. As you may know I am a year-round volunteer with OCC and this week is national collection week. We have been busy at our church receiving and packing up boxes from the Brownsburg area. This year I had been buying items when I would find them on sale or clearance. As a result we had quite a pile of goodies.
We started out the evening by hitting a few stores to fill in a few gaps and then it was back home. After turning on some Christmas music and praying that God would guide us to put just the right stuff in the right boxes we started packing. And everyone got in there to pack. :)
We ended up packing 12 boxes (including Rachel's box for Awana) I still have some items that we will add to other boxes. So much fun! I'm glad I thought ahead this year and picked up stuff along the way. Now to add our family photo to the boxes and take them to the church to get them started on their journey.
