76. Have the family put a care package together for Operation Christmas Child (www.smaritanspurse.org)

Samartian's Purse is a wonderful Christian Missionary!  Their mission is, "To demonstrate God's love in a tangible way to needy children around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ."  I heard about their Operation Christmas Child (OCC) two years ago in a random magazine I was flipping through and couldn't wait till Avie was old enough to participate and help me do a donation. Avie and I filled two shoe boxes with small toys, lollipops, toothbrushes, toothpaste, chap stick and school supplies.  Avie geared her box for a little girl her age and I did mine for a little boy Avie's age.  The really neat thing is that we were able to download a bar code to put on our boxes so we will be able to track our package and find out what country they made it too.  We had a really fun time shopping, putting the boxes together and then delivering them that we decided to make this an annual King tradition.
