We collected our change for Sweet Sleep in January (see previous post on what we are doing this year), and celebrated with a family Pajama Party! We collected over $50 of change that we are sending to Sweet Sleep to help provide beds for orphans!
For our party we unrolled our sleeping bags, put on our pajamas, and ate dinner on the floor in the family room while we watched the Sweet Sleep videos online. Then we watched the movie Bedtime Stories while enjoying freshly popped popcorn and Mara's Red Hot Cupcakes with Buttercream Icing decorated with marshmellows (tastes like cinnamon popcorn)! Yummy!
We also discovered another organization we thought we would like to learn more about since it is something we can do locally, Project Night Night -and it fits our Pajama theme. We put in a couple calls to our local homeless shelter and hope to hear back soon.
February Scattered Gifts - Shoes for Orphan Souls - see upcoming post.
