Like I've stated before, the boys LOVE army soldiers...really any soldiers. Knowing this and knowing that one of Ian's co-workers has a son serving in Afghanistan, we decided to give back and try and help Zach Griffith and his company have a Merry Christmas by asking Ian's co-workers to donate items from a wish list from the soldiers. Ian and the boys had a BLAST going to Wal-Mart and purchasing things for the soldiers from their wish list. In total Ian's firm donated over 350lbs of goodies for the 200 soldiers serving in Afghanistan. My wish this holiday season is that my children learn one of the MOST important{special} life lessons...that it's better to give than to receive. We also felt it was one small way to thank those soldiers and their families for the sacrifices they make daily for us and our children.
