Christmas Fun

The Christmas Season is always such a busy time of the year. Trying to get everything accomplished can sometimes be difficult. One thing I have been doing for the past several years is the Supplies for Soldiers program we have at my work. Employees can donate items such as soap, shampoo, sheets, socks, candy etc.. Instead of collecting items I offered to do the shopping for my coworkers. This has gone over very well and I am able to buy more items because of the big discount Kohl's and Big Lots gives me. This year I collected $850.00!  Here is a picture of everything I bought. Note: the back seats are folded down which gives a better idea of everything I was able to buy.
Once everything is purchased or donated it takes an army to sort, package and ship all the supplies. This year we mailed 407 packages to our deployed troops.



My friend Barbara invited Dollie and I over for a lovely dinner! She is such a sweet friend whom I love hanging out with!


Tommy and Sonya just bought a new house and had a Christmas get together. OMGoodness what a fun time we had!










 

Thank you for a fantastic time and Merry Christmas everyone!
