Double Digits

I want to brag a little on this kid! Blake (my brother) decided this year for his 10th birthday that he would opt out of gifts, and ask people to bring items to put in a package for Joel! What a stud!

Family and friends brought a ton of things, I felt like I was playing Tetris to package all of the items into one box!

The theme for this package was "Welcome to Fabulous Afghanistan"

The younger kiddos drew pictures and wrote letters.

Everyone brought some creative items from Spam to homemade beef jerky. Lots of stuff to stay clean, magazines and sweet treats from home.

I'm very thankful to have such a sweet kid as a brother and very supportive friends and family while Joel is away! Here's to you guys!
