Happy New Year !!! ~ 2011 ~

 

WE are so very     THANKFUL !!!!

For ALL of you who supported our kids “Haiti Orphanage Fund Raiser “ over December !

……especially those of you who couldn’t resist the little artist and who were ever soooo generous !

Miss. Grade 1 sold four pieces of her art work and raised $32 dollars for the orphanage!!!

 

Mr. Grade 4 is still completing his portion of the  fundraiser by picking up Christmas trees  with his 2 -toonie fundraiser !

Miss. Grade 8 raised over $170 dollars with all your generous donations to her first year of Christmas Baking  ( and oh what a learning experience IT was ; )

~Don’t worry ~She had lots of support in the taste testing department…yum!  { those peppermint brownies were everyone's favorite }

 

What a BLESSING it was to see them excited about being able to GIVE and serve others !! It became contagious … to the point that they all wanted to be part of it ( and mom and dad had to come up with some new creative ideas )

None of it would have worked though… without all you faithful “ABBEY CHEERLEADERS”

Your support and encouragement for the kids have been the true gift to our family this Christmas ~ and for that …Mike and I are truly thankful….
