He had the biggest grin ever.
A few weeks back, the kids and I got a package together to send the troops for Thanksgiving. It was part of a massive effort headed up by my friend, Michelle, to get Thanksgiving dinner to her husband and the rest of the troops where he is stationed in Afghanistan.
Michelle got some pictures from Joe of the Thanksgiving day effort ...
It really gives you an idea of what roughing it means ... don't you think?
And seeing them all lined up ... taking part in this feast while serving our country ... it just warms my heart to no end.
Thank you so much to Joe for taking time out to do this ...
I cried when I saw it ... and Mason had the biggest grin ever.
Then he said, "Remember how you had to help me make the stars, because I didn't know how?"
And ... "I got to stay up late that night!"
Yes son, you did get to stay up late that night so we could get our package packed and you could finish your drawing. Ahh, the things that kids remember.
