Christmas Parties

Yesterday was a busy day. We got a load of wood delivered and Dad, Mike and I stacked it. Then Allison and I started decorating the tree in the dining room. We got the lights and a few other items on the tree, but we still have more to do and there are many other decorations to put out. We took some photos while we decorated.

Later int he afternoon we packed up Eva and dressed her in a Christmas red dress that looked so cute with little black ballerina socks that looked like shoes. We took her to my supervisor’s annual Christmas party. Everyone love her and wanted to hold her. Eva was so alert while we were there and very, very good. I took a few photos while we were there.

After that party we headed over to Amy and Ryan’s for another party and dessert. We played Wii. Here is Liz rocking out the Wii bowling.

My 15 Year High School Reunion is Saturday…

This Saturday will be a celebration of my 15 year High School Reunion. I have been working with a classmate on planning the event and offering ideas. This will not be a typical reunion as it is also a fund raiser for another Classmate, Becky, who’s family has been going through a very difficult battle with Cancer. First Becky had cancer and then her husband Mike got cancer. Mike has had more treatments than I could ever count and on top of that his Cancer has gone away only to come back stronger and nastier than before. I’ve been reading the family journal and I can’t imagine how difficult this has been for the Machinski family.

One of the goals I have for the 15 year reunion was to sell 100 calendars to raise $200.00 for the family. With Each calendar sold I would make $2.97, I was going to use the $0.97 to buy an iPod for the silent auction that we are having during the Reunion. I’ve sold 12 calendars. I’ve also gotten $79.00 in donations. I haven’t reached my goal and I’m not sure where to turn. The reunion is this coming Saturday and I would like any and all help from my readers to help me raise that last $290.00 for the Machinski family. Becky and Mike will be at the reunion and I don’t want to disappoint them with failure.

How can you, my great readers help? You can write a post directing people to https://benspark.com/2008calendar.html Talk about how the money will be used and how it will benefit the Machinski Family. Please help. Thank you.

I would like to point out great linky love to Joana of Nanashi-Inc who gave me a free ad on her sidebar out of the blue. Thanks so much Joana.
