Toys R Us

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to walk into a store with $2200 to spend? Having no requirements of anything to purchase and just being able to shop? IT WAS WONDERFUL!!!


Jake, Brian, Vaughn, and Josh all sent Hayden, Kaylee and I shopping with cash for the toy drive. They were wonderfully generous!

We spent three hours in the store and filled up 6 carts, heaping full with toys for the hospital. It was so cute to watch Hayden and Kaylee. They both would walk up and down the aisles deciding which toys would be most appropriate for the kids in bed. Hayden's top toys for the hospital were Sorry Sliders, backugan and transformers. Kaylee's favorite was a new moon blanket, books and art supplies.

It was so much fun! So memorable! And both kids were incredible and REALLY tried hard to find the perfect gift for the sick kids! I will never forget this moment!
