Here are some random things we did in December that didn't get their own post! For mutual one night we did a study break drive through and dressed up and handed out treats to all the girls as they came through and then the boys showed up and attempted to attack us with marshmallow guns, but really I found out through my gut instincts and a Crew Steere's face that they were up to something so we countered them with waterballoons and we for sure won! We all attended Christmas Sunday church together as a family! Eli requested that we go to the Mesa Temple Lights together, so obviously anything he wants this year he is getting from me, ha ha. We still wrote letters to Santa even though we didn't get to mail them until Christmas Eve on our way to ring the Salvation Army bells. Jared and I took the boys to target to buy gifts for Noah's Ark and then we headed to the giving machine and the boys bought things there and then we ended up at Big Chicken for dinner! One Saturday night, Sara told me they were heading to downtown Mesa to hand out toiletries and toys to those who needed it from Noah's Ark and that my boys could go. None of them really wanted to go, cause they always complain at first about doing service, but they all went and spent several hours handing them out and then they all loved it in the end. It is great to bring smiles to faces of those who are less fortunate and it feels good giving back. So grateful for all these opportunties to serve others!
