Operation Christmas Child

Im sure you all have heard of Operation Christmas Child and know what it is but if not it is an organization that sends boxes of gifts to needy kids in all different countries. Pretty much every church is collecting them right now. When our church announced that they were doing it I thought it would be a fun thing to do with Noni. You can chhoose what gender and what age group you want to do, so we chose a girl 2-4yrs old. (how appropriate)

But how do you explain it to a 2 year old? So this is what I said, "there is a girl far far away whose mommy can't buy her presents for christmas and she doesn't have the things that we have. So we have to pick stuff out and send it to her for christmas, and we need to pray for her." She really enjoyed picking stuff out and helped wrap it all up. She keeps talking about presents for the girl.
This is something Peter used to do as a kid and I think it will probably become a tradition in our house too.
