Hot Cocoa, Warm Hearts

We excitedly opened our door yesterday to friends and in return they opened their hearts (and wallets!) to donate to Charity: Water. Thank you to all that stopped by (and brought yummy treats) and all who've helped us with our cause.

We are thrilled to share the update: yesterday, we collected $166 and in addition to the donations made through our Charity: Water donation page, we'll be sending over $370 to them this holiday season.  This money is enough for provide 18.6 people safe and clean drinking water for 20 years. How cool is that!?

If you could not make the shindig yesterday, please consider donating through our Charity: Water page. The campaign runs through December 31st, so click before then ... and of course their website is always open year-round for donations!  The founder suggests "giving your birthday" ... donating your age on your birthday ... I thought this was a great idea ... just something to think about!

Here are some pics from yesterday - thanks again - I hope you learned as much as we did about the gift of giving!

Amazing! You made this look like so much fun. I'm excited to host our party now!

The boys should be very proud of themselves (and you & Marc too ;).
