So, the Morton's took all the donated Care Package Items home to sort out over the weekend. There was a LOT of stuff! We couldn't believe the generosity of some - SIXTEEN manicure kits in one bag, and MORE!
Everyone was super generous - THANKS A LOT TO EVERYONE.

Meanwhile, Ingrid still needed to write her sailor a letter.
So, while everyone else started to sort and pack bags, she sat down to write.
Grace had a LITTLE trouble with one bag of Peppermint Patties.
Meanwhile - David was doling out Jolly Ranchers!
When we were all done - there were 16 (Plus one for Lauren on another ship - I'm not sure which one) all ready to pack into boxes and ship off early Monday! Each had a letter - lots of goodies, a magazine or two, and a note from Mrs. Morton.
ENJOY - and HAPPY HOLIDAYS to our special sailors
on the USS STENNIS (plus one!) - and the rest of the crew too!
We are genuinely grateful for your service to the United States.
Be safe - and know we'll be keeping our ears peeled for news of you
as you go around the world serving as you go.
Sincerely,
all of Thrills & Skills (parents & kids)
