Ryder wanted to serve this Christmas Season by shopping for other kids. We have the perfect opportunity with a local charity. We headed to the local Walmart and found a long line of others wanting to serve.

We were once at the end
of this line. |
 |
Waiting patiently for our turn.
Oops!!! we left our jackets in the van. |
We made it inside and received a clipboard with names, sizes, and needs. It was crazy trying to maneuver the aisles. The crowds were worse than on Black Friday. The only difference was instead of people grabbing things for themselves. They were trying to find items the kids had requested. For every clipboard there was a cart and 3 or 4 people helping out.

| We survived!!! |
It was crazy and I had a headache by the time we finished. However, we will be back next year to do it once again. Ryder was all smiles and was so excited that someone was going to hopefully enjoy the stuff he picked out. I had serious concerns about finding the things they wanted. Each time we went down the aisle looking for a specific thing. There it was sitting on the shelf just waiting for us to load it into our car
It was a crazy night but is sure felt good to do service during this season of giving. I hope that we can continue to find ways to serve.
