Lookie what I got today!

These are Christmas Cards from the children at South Marshall Elementary. I'll put them in the mail tomorrow and hope they get there on time.....these are so cute, they'll enjoy them even if they don't get there till July though. Each soldier has a card especially for them. The children in 3 different classes took a name and made a personal card for everyone. It's going to be great fun deciphering the handwriting to decide who has what card though...dexterity and penmanship weren't high on their priorities...just the artwork and the sentiments inside........

Get out the Kleenex ya'll....here's a few of the messages...

from Jeffery...."thanks for fighting for our freedom"
from Paul...."thank you for fighting for us. someday I want to be in the Army"
from Becky..."Happy Christmas. You have done a good job. Thank you ."
from Pat...." I hope you have a good Christmas. I hope you have a good war.By the way, I hope you know that your family loves you"
from Brandi..."thank you for fighting for our country. I want to be just like you"
from Whitney..."thank you. I hope you get to be with your family for Christmas"
From Austin..."Please be safe. Wish you good luck. Merry Christmas"

and my personal favorite....
from Hallie...."Merry Christmas. Please, if you hear the name Amy McDonald,please say that your daughter wrote to me"

I guess I'll send them all to A1C Nesbitt and he can play postman. If anyone has any better ideas...post here and let me know. I won't be going to the post office till around noon.
