Craig and Shelley started off our dinner by
carving the turkey and the rest of us
enjoyed it!

An incredible day as a "family" of over 30

gathered to celebrate the joy of life with

grateful hearts!

hosted over 60 people!

Yard Sale, Saturday, November 6th, 2010

Renee did a fabulous job of organizing our Fall
Yard Sale! A huge thank you to her for weeks of
planning a lot of hard work.

And thank you so much to all of you who helped
in so many ways: whether time, energy and/or
donations or shopping!

The day was great fun, the weather perfect AND
we raised over $800!

On Friday, November 5th, Renee gathered several
people to get all of the donations ready to sell.

The donations were everywhere, how great is that!
Pam is looking through this great box of donated
Christmas items.

Pam and Renee deciding if "the find" is a keeper.

Look at all those donations - you guys are

awesome!

Michael and Valerie have even more to go

through.

Craig doesn't know what to do but smile.

I couldn't believe the crowd of people who came

at 4:00-4:30 on Saturday morning to help set-up!

Shoppers already...

Now we're just getting silly...

and sillier...

one might say ridiculous...

Lee had to have fun too!

oh no!

Yikes! Chanse, Lee, Molly and Gavin must have

been up way too early.

The boys waved traffic in all day.

Thank you again to EVERYBODY for a very

successful day!

Get ready - we'll do it again in May!
