For Christmas this year my family decided to make care packages for the soilders rather than exchange gifts with each other. We sent them to Robert's brother who is Iraq and his unit.

This is Marica making the world family Hutchison carmel.

Here Tracy and I are wrapping sudoku books and cross word puzzles

The whole family got into it...even my uncle Randy. He was in charge of boxes and shipping.
This is the most work my dad did. Once he got home Brennen kept him very occupied but out of the way. It was probably for the best.
We sent the soilders some of our famous christmas candy. We make marshmallow balls. Basically, it's a marshmallow dipped in carmel and then rolled in rice krispies. Very yummy!
We also sent each of the soilders a personnal christmas card thanking them for their service and telling them we wish them the best and pray for the...I know, we as a family, are incredible!
We even had the baby Jesus laying under the manger with us as well worked (okay it's really Bennett but we laughed when we saw it). It really filled the home with the Christmas Spirit.
