Adopt-a-family 2010

It was another successful year for our annual Adopt-a-family project!  For those of you who don't know, in lieu of giving each other gifts, our family has opted to "adopt" a family in need and buy gifts for them instead.  This year we "adopted" a family with 8 kids who needed a little help to make Christmas a merry one in the gift department.  With everyone's GENEROUS donations and purchases, we were able to get each child several articles of clothing along with at least 2 toys/items on their wish lists.  We were also able to give a grocery gift card and a Visa gift card as well.  We have done this for a few years now and it gets better every year!  I am the "organizer" and while most people think that is a big job, I really love it!!  What better way to express the "reason for the season" than to be able to give to our brothers and sisters in Christ and share the gifts that He has richly blessed us with.  Thank you again to ALL who made this year's event a huge success, your generosity is humbling!  May God bless you and keep you this holiday season!  Merry Christmas!!!!
