This is the last day of the auction. We are a little sad it's coming to an end. This has been a wonderful experience for all involved. The generosity of so many has touched us daily. Thank you so much for all the many donations and bids that have poured in. It has been a blessing to be a part of such great love and giving at this Christmas time. This will be one Christmas season our families will never forget!

Saturdays Sneak Peak



Today's sneak peak is that of a simple one. Today it hit me while throwing in a pile of laundry. Hit me like a ton of bricks. The generosity of so many willing to give a little of themselves for someone else. In some cases someone they don't even know. Even some of the smallest of donations seem to be the largest. Reminded me of a favorite scripture " that by small and simple things are great things brought to pass" (Alma 37:6).
You know, this fundraiser started as a small neighborhood idea to forgo our neighborhood Christmas gift giving to help out our neighbors (our friends), to show them support and love at a time when they need it most. It has since evolved into something much larger than we even imagined. Someone told me today, "it reminds me of "It's a Wonderful Life," everyone pitching in to help one another. After all isn't that what life is all about.

Here are some of today's sneak peaks:

  • snow removal from a young man for a whole month
  • hand-dipped chocolates
  • several 12 yr. olds having a Christmas children's day camp
  • baked apple pies
  • cookies
  • babysitting
  • more babysitting
  • french lessons
  • girlie-girl fun fingernail painting
  • duo basketball skills class
  • handyman services
  • car repair
  • hair cuts/color
  • service
  • service
  • service
I can't wait for Monday! Now let's bid the heck out of these things :)
