As a family we want to say a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to each and every one of you that helped with our "A Family Affair" Fund Raiser! It was a huge success! We couldn't have done it without you.

CONGRATULATIONS my friend! I have to admit I giggled when the kids read your name. (A side note: Emily wrote on her paypal payment she had a "good feeling about this one") :)


Please excuse my sassy pants kids butchering every ones names. They found great giggling pleasure in doing this drawing. I fear its a bit borderline on whether it should be posted but hopefully everyone has a good sense of humor and no one is offended. The kids had a little too much fun. :) Oh and please ignore my squeaky voice. Ugh. Hate video voice.
