Romanian Orphanage Fall Festival Benefit

I'm staying home from church this morning to stay with Grandma, so I thought I'd catch up on some blogging that is long over due! 


A few weeks ago, Hannah and Rebekah hosted a Fall Festival to benefit the Bread of Life Orphanage in Romania that they visited last year. (click here for their website) 

On the agenda was a hayride, volleyball, kickball, a pie contest, singing, and, of course, fellowship. 
And, there was a place to donate clothes, and shoe-boxes. :)


The Schatte girls got to our house early to help with the food, set up, and decorate - it was almost more fun than the party! :)

I think there were about 24 pies entered in the contest!
