For family night tonight we signed up to help out with the “Santa Float.”  Every year our ward helps to raise money for a charity organization Cash for Kids.  In the 35′ F weather, there were about 15 of us that showed up to help out tonight…our ward will be doing this service for a week.  We had some difficulties with the generator getting the lights and music to stay on, but still we were able to raise around 155 pounds.  What was amazing is that everyone that opened the door donated money…not at all the experience that Matt and I had on our mission where people said no.  Maybe it had a little bit to do to the fact that it is Christmas time, or the fact that we have a very cute daughter who wished everyone a Merry Christmas and is just super friendly to strangers.
