Little Birthday Angels Lead
Recently a well-loved little boy turned six years old and had a great birthday party with his friends… but he didn’t get any presents.Thanks to his mother, Soldiers’ Angel Heidi, Hunter is an “Angel in training” who has obviously learned his lessons well. Rather than ask for birthday presents this year, he asked his family and friends to bring fabric to make no-sew Blankets of Belief for Wrapped in Holiday Spirit care packages!
Hunter was following in the footsteps of his younger sister Genevieve, who did the same thing for her 4th birthday this Spring. Together, the children have received enough fabric and monetary gifts to make and ship about 15 blankets!
This is the second time that Hunter has forgone birthday gifts. Last year he asked for care package items for the troops rather than presents for himself. Friends responded enthusiastically, bringing in close to $200 worth of items.
Congrats to Heidi for raising two loving and patriotic children, and thank you to Hunter and Genevieve for showing the rest of us how to support the troops and get our friends involved in the fun!

| With his "presents" going to the troops, Hunter has learned that the best part of a birthday party is hanging with friends. |
