10.11.09 - The Final Packing

As we prepared for the delivery of Dylan's Gifts on October 16th (delayed a bit this year because of various schedule conflicts), each and every gift received a blue butterfly sticker. The stickers are something that we make, using a rubber stamp that has been shared in special ways with others ever since Dylan's passing (on special cards, etc.). The best thing about this process is that it also gives us an easy way for counting all the gifts.

It is an amazing thing to see how excited these girls are to part with all the toys and books that are a part of Dylan's Gifts, but before they leave our home, Christmas lists are started. This year, both girls were able to write their own lists (which was a lot of fun to watch!).
