I found it!

 I knew my camera was at my parents house! We went there last night for my nieces b-day party and I found it! Here are a few Christmas Break pictures:

Project Feed Me + other donations for the family whose house burnt down

Dave's SUV was so full we had to load stuff onto the trailer!DSCF0418

I was overwhelmed by the donations from others given for this family.  We actually had to turn a few things away because we could not fit them in the SUV or trailer!  It was an hour and 1/2 trip to deliver the items, so we had to pack it all into one trip. There was also a lot of money donated in addition to all of these items!  We ended up having TONS of food thanks to my sisters and parents donation of their PFM stash. I also donated my PFM collection to this family, it was perfect!  It was very humbling to visit this family in their temporary residence and see how much the didn't have.  They seriously had nothing. I thought we might be overwhelming them with things they didn't need or things they already had, but I was so wrong. They had nothing.  They had a sofa, a tiny Christmas tree, and a few clothes. Every time we would bring in a new item they would get so excited and express how badly they needed that specific item.  With the help of others, we unloaded almost 4 times the amount of items they already had into their home that night.  The items filled their entire living room area. They were so thankful and grateful.  It was a wonderful night. This family was in need and they needed our help. I am so thankful for all of you who helped and made it possible. I really only asked for items, and delivered, all of your donations are what made this possible!! Thank you so much!

I FINALLY took down our Christmas Tree on Saturday.  The house looks empty without it. Turtle is trying to find a new home, since she had taken up residence under the tree for a few months. We still have our Christmas lights up, Dave thinks we should leave them up all year round. I think he just doesn't want to help take them down…
