Merry Christmas

Happy birthday to Jesus! A big thank you for everyone who pitched in and gave Autumn money and purchased more beef sticks at the Christmas Eve party. Many of you simply donated and she even got a gift card to shop for items, we thank you. On Christmas morning Autumn opened a huge box full of items from Auntie Lisa and Uncle Jose. These items will be a huge help to fill up the boxes. Tomorrow will be a great day to snag Christmas sale items. Thanks again to everyone for helping.
