Christmas Package



I found out that an online friend, Sandy, was travelling to pick up her son (finally!!) over Christmas. She had an extra long wait and I'm so glad she finally got her travel call. Anyway, I of course wanted to send a package to Henry and his foster family. It's hard to pick gifts for people you don't know. I settled on a ladies watch and ladies pair of leather dress gloves. I thought the foster mom and daughter could choose what they wanted. For the foster dad and son I chose black leather gloves and a black scarf. Since Seoul is so cold in the winter I hope that the warm things will get used. For Henry I send a teddy bear with a rattle inside that used to be Lydia and Trixie's. I also sent a Christmas card that makes me laugh every time I look at it. I took a picture of Lydia and Trixie kissing a doll and then their picture was photoshopped onto Henry's picture so that it looks like they're kissing him. I hope Henry's foster family has a sense of humor because I think that picture is the cutest thing! Thanks fo my friend Caroline's dad I was also able to send a couple letters translated to Korean. He was so nice to do this in a hurry for me. This is my third care package that I have sent over. I love making the connection with the foster family. The next time I'll be taking things in person and it'll be my turn to take care packages for others. I can't wait!! Hurry up and get here, Jan. 17!
