October 6th was the day we took around all the blankets that Makena collected. She ended up with 108 blankets! We decided on 2 places to take them. We took all the "used" blankets to the Road Home shelter and all the "new" blankets to the Christmas Box house. It was a neat experience to be able to take these blankets to people that will need them! Makena is an example of what Jesus wants us to be. She teaches me everyday about love to others. I am so proud of her and all she was able to do to help others in need. The smile on her face as we delivered these blankets was fun to watch. I don't think that smile left her face all day! Makena really liked going to the Christmas Box house. You walked in and there was a big Christmas tree decorated for Halloween and around the tree were shelves of animals that when kids come to that house they get to pick an animal that they can love and call theirs. Now the kids will also get to pick out a new blanket that they will get to keep and take with them. Makena's blankets will make lots of kids warm this winter!
