Christmas with the Coaches

So Jeff had to work Christmas eve day which was not so bad. He got off a little early and we were able to make it to Vegas in time to join the family for the annual Christmas eve outing. You see a few years ago my mom decided we needed to go give things to the homeless people. She is a crafty woman and crochets hats or beanies (sp?!). Well she made a bunch and we took them down to where they hang out on the streets. Over the years people have found out about what we do and donate things so no we take hats, gloves, socks (a big hit) jackets and some blankets. Seriously it is the best thing we do for Christmas, you can't help but feel so blessed during the holiday season and so thankful to be a part of their Christmas. This year Rylan even got out and started handing things out, he did such a good job!
THis is us on the way to Vegas, we had to bring B it wouldn't be Christmas ithout the whole family...
After we dropped Holly and Jordan off we went back out to some place and i can't remmber the name something preserve..(oops...) but it was free for the night and boy was my Dad GLAD it was... because lets be honest it was horrible. Nothing great to look at and dust EVERYWHERE!! This was the most lit up area that we took a picture in from of.. Aww our first Christmas together!
Us with my Parents

After the Preserve place we drove to a house that has lights and lights and more lights that go with the beat of music. The guy who sets it up is awesome. He has flyers out to answer the most asked questions and he sits in his drive way in a santa suit. Jeff and I couldnt resist we had to run up and get a picute with him.
Oh p.s Don't mind my no make up face! It is what it is! Hope everyone had a great Christmas!!
