Patterson Christmas Project Grand Total

Our grand total for the Patterson Christmas Project was $315!!!

 

That's over three times our original goal, and over four times what we raised last year!

 

The kids and I were very touched with the amount of support and encouragement we received toward our cause.  With the $315 we were able to buy a goat, a sheep and some chickens from World Vision.

 

 

A big THANK YOU to everyone who participated and encouraged us along the way.  You've all made a difference for some needy families who now have a chance to earn income through these farm animals.

 

Merry Christmas!

Chef Graedon

Graedon is a master chef in training.  He's alway eager to lend a hand in the kitchen, and I try my best to let him.  It's an exercise in patience to have a four year old help out.  Sometimes we end up with an entire loaf of bread toasted and slathered with a pound of butter...and a very proud little boy.

 

On this day, Graedy and I made roasted root vegetables.

 

He cut the carrots and garlic, and mixed in the EVOO.

 

 

 

He helped fry up the fish, too.  He's a pro with the wooden spoon.

 

 

I'm hoping to have him fully on kitchen duty by the time he's 5....anyone want to come for supper?

Yes.

And, then, there it is.
