After decorating our house for Christmas, we had our church small group over for the dessert portion of the annual progressive dinner. I decided to give this delicious chocolate pound cake some holiday cheer by adding "holly cookies" around the edge.
Later that weekend, our middle school youth group was here for a little Christmas party. We played a few games and they really got into Christmas Charades!
Last Monday was a big day at the middle school; we took 120 students to Wal-mart to shop for our Christmas Basket program (are we crazy, or just very optimistic??) Back at school, the students wrapped gifts and packed up the baskets. The whole day actually went very well and it was cool to see the middle school students in a spirit of giving!
Yesterday our house turned into a Peanut Butter Ball factory. Turns out the recipe made *way* more peanut butter balls than I anticipated! Four hours later (and with a lot of help from Jonathan!) we could finally enjoy the finished product.
This afternoon we enjoyed a beautiful concert from the Rehoboth choir! Jonathan accompanied some of the songs with his violin. This was a great way to start the busy last week of the semester with an hour of peace and worship.
Next weekend we will travel to the East Coast for the holidays! Until then--enjoy a wonderful Christmas season!
