It didn't start off good, but it ended perfectly.

What a day. My dad gave us money to do his Christmas shopping this year, so Scott and I with 2 kids and 2 teenagers set out to do just that. Little did we know that our car was going to break down in the middle of our oh so busy day! Wow we had our hands full while waiting on my dad to bring us some gas, at first that's what we thought that was the problem. We waited for over 2 hours with not so happy kids. That is what I call "BRAVE"! Scott had given me my Christmas present early this year, a new camera! Boy did that come in handy. I took over 100 pictures in the car and it was the only thing that saved my sanity lol. The kids had a blast getting their pictures taken. After my dad showed up and we put gas in the car, we learned this was not the problem. We tried jumping it, that didn't work. A stranger seen us working on the car, and offered some advice about knocking the fuel tank with a hammer to see if that would help, it didn't. My dad was able to take the kids with him, but that left Scott and I alone. By this point we knew we were going to miss the Live Nativity. Scott called Pastor Ray to see if anyone at the Church would be able to pick us up. Carrie, Jenn, and Travis came to pick us up. Travis and Jenn have some good connections AKA a brother who has a tow truck (Jason) whom towed our car for us. Travis also works on cars and is able to fix the problem which will save us um TONS of MONEY!!! We are so lucky to have awesome friends and an amazing Church Family! Thank you Jenn, Travis and Carrie and to everyone else that helped out either by waiting for us, praying for us, getting us a ride, or anything else. Here are some pictures of our adventures today! Remember we were board out of our minds and freezing!!
