In December my primary presidency and I decided to have a service drive-in for our quarterly activity. We gave the kids boxes to make cars and then we set up 3 "service stations". The kids drove from station to station doing the various service projects (frosting cookies for the bishopric, washing the chairs in the primary room and making cards for the missionaries), after each project was complete they earned a "service buck" (which I was in charge of making, so of course I roped my dad into drawing a service station monster for me to use on my bucks), they then could use their service bucks to buy treats, popcorn and drinks at the drive-in. They all bought their treats and parked their cars to watch Mr. Kruger's Christmas. It was a ton of fun!! The kids loved it! And of course Brian and Jordyn went all out making Jordyn's car super fantastic. It had a front end added, working head lights and tail lights and lots of decorations cut by my cricut. Everyone loved it!!
You can't tell in the pictures but the headlights are on, Brian used a battery operated strand of Christmas lights so Jordyn could turn them on and off with a button. It was SO cute!!

Let's see, me in a nut shell... I'm 28 and have been married to my hubby, Brian, for 6 years. I have a 4 year old daughter named Jordyn Lyle, a beagle named Beamer, and a kitty named Zilla. I LOVE to read, that would be my favorite thing in life along with laying out in the hot, hot sun!! I like games with family and friends, watching scary movies, tortilla soup from Cafe Rio, donuts, DISNEYLAND, traveling, my pillow, hoodies, my electric blanket... well you get the gist. Anyway to sum it all up I have the cutest kid in the world, a studly and super handy husband, the BEST family in the world and awesome friends! Life is good!!
