It's House Party Time!

We had our open house today, and it was a blast! About 35 people took a break from admiring the foliage to come check out the new digs and bring goodies for our neighbors in need. We asked that instead of housewarming gifts our guests should bring a donation for the Drop In Center. Sebastian made signs for the boxes: one for food, one for toiletries and one for clothing. We ended up with a full box of food, 2 boxes of warm clothes and one not so full box of toiletries. I'm sure all of it will be appreciated.

We had beautiful weather, a yard full of happy kids and a house full of happy adults. What more could I ask for?

Special thanks to everyone who came, especially those who came from far away. It was great to see everyone!
