"2nd annual Angels helping Angels"

Held at Wal-Mart, the kids will each get to choose an angel off the tree and then go out into the store and shop for that child. Each angel is for a boy or girl and has the sizes and things that child wants. Then they can bring the packages back to us and we will wrap them for the kids.  

We felt like this would be a way for the kids to help and at the same time feel the joy of helping another child.
