Ronald McDonald House

In January, Jarrod and I had a conversation about his 40th birthday...he didn't want a big party, so we decided to honor his special day by serving the awesome families at the Ronald McDonald House in Durham. When the day finally came it was more awesome than we could have ever imagined!!

Our amazing group of friends and family who came to show some love to the Ronald McDonald House!

The families loved the food!! Jarrod's family makes a dish called "red chicken" and by the end of the night there was only a small container of leftovers! The ribs provided by our neighbor were also a big hit!!

Joseph was a big help with the cookies!

Jarrod's mom, Jan, is famous for her HUGE batches of chocolate chip cookies! 

The families were excited about the leftovers. :) At the end of the night, we sealed them up in ziplock bags so they could have a snack in their rooms later. 

Connie and her girls loved helping out! They want to come back and volunteer in the future. 

The Birthday Boy!!

The kids were awesome...especially since some of them were there for many hours helping out!

Sweet Eli and Shannon!

This lady has been at the House since September 2012. Her daughter was CURED of sickle cell...and they left the House to return home the day after we visited!

Jarrod's sister, Jennifer, was amazing...she has lots of experience cooking for large groups of people! She is always in charge of the meal planning when we all go to the beach! :)

Of course, we forgot something at the House and had to go back the next day. This was a great opportunity for a picture with Ronald! :)
