We all met up at Walmart to collectively buy Christmas gifts for a needy family in Utah. We (Parkinsons and Pacadas) were assigned the 15 year old boy. We bought a big winter coat, jeans, a book, and a scooter. The boys (Nate and Michael) got a little frustrated with how long it took me and Veronica to pick out said items. But we wanted to get the best presents we could!
After everyone bought everything, we headed to campus for dinner and wrapping. Karly, the amazing homemaker/wife that she is got Cafe Rio catered for everyone. She also went ALL out making treats and decorating with amazing Christmas flair. So we ate, a lot.
Then we wrapped. We wrapped up all of the gifts, with name tags and bows. After everything was ready to go, the presents were stealthily left on the door step for the family.
It was such a great night. We had so much fun and were so happy to provide Christmas for a family. Thanks Karly! Here's her post on the night. (Much more detailed and more pictures)
