Despite rain in the forecast, we set up tables, chairs, and tents for our second annual Hot Chocolate and Cinnamon Roll Stand. I've already mentioned this, but our little stand is a fundraising event where we "give" away yummy food and drink for a small donation. People are encouraged to donate loose change, but some bring bills...and some of those bills are pretty big! We take that money and donate it to World Vision, an international ministry that provides farm animals, Bibles, and education opportunities, among other things to poverty stricken people in third world countries.
God truly blessed this day for us. Just as 9:00 AM rolled around, the sun came out from behind the clouds. The glory of the day was upon us, just in time! Now last year, we collected over $350 and the girls had a blast picking out a donkey, a flock of chickens and sponsoring a child. We were excited to see if we could smash that record this year. We had over 100 people come by the house this year, tons of kids running around the yard, and 150 rolls eaten. But the big question...did we break our record from last year's $350 donation? Time for the drum roll....Oh yeah!! Our friends and family donated over $900 to World Vision!! Amazing!! Thank you so much for coming and supporting this wonderful cause, and I loved seeing so many of our neighbors and friends! What joy!

Thanks y'all! See you next year!!
