Breakfast with Santa

Saturday morning we had breakfast with Santa Claus and all of his awesome elves: the student council of Lone Peak High School.

As part of their Gold Rush fundraiser each year these great kids put on a community pancake breakfast with Santa. Jacob had been looking forward to it all week. I think the first thing he said when he woke up was, “today is the day we get to have breakfast with Santa at Lone Peak!” (correction: that was the first thing he said when he woke me up, I don’t know what he said when he first woke up).

You bet he’s smiling under that mask. Only awesome teenagers putting on a fundraiser for our son with cancer could get Scott to sit on Santa’s lap.

It was a great experience to see these kids putting on this fundraiser—and to see the parents that got roped into helping too! We were impressed with the mission statement of Lone Peak High that includes service in the community. 

Another highlight for Jacob was all the attention the teenagers gave him. He was loving it. All three of my kids were. They each got a good healthy dose of doting. That should hold them over until the next time they see Grandma.

Thanks Lone Peak High School! We love you! From the Woodward Family

I also just found out that the Alpine Christmas Concert will benefit Gold Rush this year (click for their website).  For more information about Lone Peaks Gold Rush you can visit Lone Peak’s website or their Gold Rush website (both hyperlinked). I know there has been some media coverage of Gold Rush, but I haven’t seen any of it yet. If anyone has a link to articles, etc. please leave a comment, I’d love to see them.
