A Little update on our Ronald McDonald Dinner. Mom and Dad got there first (of course) and were on point. They had the Christmas music playing, the Santa hats set out for everyone, and all the ingredients organized and set in their designated places for assembly. Dad was busy cutting all the onions and chicken. Mom was mapping out the kitchen, pulling out pot's and utensils. Curtis and I were the next to arrive and we jumped right in. Curtis started and made all the cheese cakes while I heated the beans and started the rice. Shortly after Addie, Eli, Parker, Megan, and Krew arrived and that's when the real fun began. Krew and Parker were in their Bumbo's on the counter with their Santa hats on and they brought smiles to every single person that came into the kitchen to see what all the commotion was about. Addie and Eli enjoyed a special moment, slow dancing in the kitchen to the famous "True Value Christmas" tape along with cooking, cleaning, feeding the boys, and chatting with the families that walked through. Megan and Mom ran from station to station seeing what they could do to help and making sure we were not burning or forgetting ANYTHING. Both running around with rags, cleaning up after Dad, Curtis, and I's enchilada station! I'm pretty sure we got at least half the cheese, chicken, and sauce actually in the pans! :) Thanks again Mom and Megan. A VERY special thanks to Curtis who hand shredded enough cheese for 48 HUGE enchiladas as well as made an emergency run to Winco to get more cheese. Thank you husband! Once the food was ready to eat we got a chance to sit and talk to some of the families. Regardless of all that they were going though they smiled and truly enjoyed the Holiday spirit. All in all it was an INCREDIBLE night. It makes me so thankful for my family and I love you all so much. Thank you for all being so giving, kind, loving, and well just GREAT!
