Our Christmas family this year is really going to have an amazing Christmas morning!!! Last night, several of us went to the families house to deliver everything (all 3 truckloads and 1 van full!) What an amazing thing to be a part of. I am so thankful that we were able to do this for this family. It's very obvious to me this year that God chose this family for us. When we picked this family, we had no idea how much they really needed. I'm not talking about "wants" here, I'm talking daily ncecessities (beds, towels, bakeware...). When we did learn about everything, I was very concerned because we were so short on cash. But, we came through big!!! We were able to give them gifts for Christmas morning, and a house full of furniture! I am so thankful to everyone for helping out financially, and some of you for your donations of furniture!!! The family was very thankful to all of us. When the mom saw the gifts for the kids, tears came to her eyes, and she said her kids had never got toys before. Thank you so much. Here's what we were able to get for the family.

Thank to everyone who gave of their time, money, and thoughts and prayers. What an impact our family has through this. Special thanks to Steph and Paula for all their effort finding a family, collecting money, finding needs, and shopping.
That's a huge list of stuff, that is awesome! It's great that we can bless another family with so much!
fabulous news! thanks again for your thoughtfulness and effort! not sure if you got my money yet, but give the mom the cash when you receive it, if you havent gotten it already.
Sara, we knew it was coming and spent it!! Paula used her own money. Your check came on Saturday and I am reimbursing her! Thanks again!
do you have any other people that need some re-imbursing? Sorry, we dropped the ball on this...i haven't looked at the blog for quite some time and forgot! What a blessing this was! And thank you, Paula and Stephanie for all your time and effort.
