Every year the Egbert Family donates money and puts a family in charge of a Christmas service project. This year was the Kuhlenhoelter year! After a few months of not having a clue what to do, we stumbled upon two worthy causes.
One of Andrew's classmates lost his mother unexpectedly very close to Christmas after having lost his father just few years ago. Knowing the holidays would be tough under the circumstances anyway, the High School put together a fund for Christmas presents. We were happy to be able to donate to that.
Alisha also suggested we buy supplies to help feed the patrons of the local soup kitchen a Christmas feast. We ended up making 6 (or was it eight? I can't remember!) pies and 240 (this number I will never forget!) homemade rolls!!! It was quite the day spent mixing, raising, rolling, and baking these rolls.
Before we started.

The pumpkin pies.
Just a small sample of the BAGFULLS of rolls. There were so many!! I had nightmares of making rolls that night!
