FUN IN THE SNOW

This is Avery shoveling a path in the snow. Andy, do you recognize that hat???I think you wore it when you were about his age. I was watching the boys while Erin made a run to Costco and we decided to go play in the snow before it got too dark outside. Av just had to wear that hat and the scarf and two pairs of my stretchy gloves to stay warm - he thought. Bodee wheeling his wheels thru the snow drifts. Bodee kept taking his gloves off and I kept putting them back on. Oh, my gosh, I'm getting too old for this kind of actvity, but it was still fun.

PUTTING THE KITS TOGETHER

We are working hard but having fun assembling the hygeine kits. Ben is rolling a towel really, really tight so everything fits snugly in the ziploc bag.

ASSEMBLING HYGEINE KITS

This was our family project during the Christmas family party this year. We layed out all of the items to go into the kits and the littlest of boys took a bag and went down the line for each of us to insert an item into the bag. It went really fast and we could have done twice as many if we could have afforded more items. We did 24 kits and it was such a good feeling to just do that many. I brought the bags home and packed them into boxes and labeled them with our family name and ward and stake and took them to the Bishop's Storehouse. They, in turn, transport them to the warehouse in Hermiston and from there they go to the Humanitarian Center in Salt Lake.
