Only five more Christmas parties to go!
We had an awesome time tonight with our LifeGroup party! We had a no $ amount white elephant and Emily and I got a mug made by this new girl in our LifeGroup! It has a tree on it which is perfect because Emily loves anything with trees on it, and she also loves mugs. So it actually turned out well for us.
I’ve had good Christmas parties so far…now begins the family ones, which are not as fun…unfortunately. we don’t want to go to Kalamazoo…but we have to. We feel like our real family is our family with God… our Christian family. We feel like we can actually be ourselves with them. Don’t get me wrong, our immediate families are fine, it’s just the extended family like grandparents and aunts and uncles…blah. good luck everyone dealing with this.
I’m really excited for all the people who will come to church this weekend who normally don’t go to church. CedarCreek had an awesome service. It was one of their better ones of the last couple of years. I’m really excited that my mom is going which means the rest of my family could be going too! I can’t make it because I’ll be in Kalamazoo, which sucks..but I already talked about that. I wish I could go with them.
Follow up on the single mom who we adopted for Christmas – we were able to raise and give her $800 plus a $100 gift card to Kroger. She was blown away. It is really nice to meet someone that you know will not spend it foolishly but actually use it for her kids’ Christmas.
I’ll talk more about the $800 later…this is getting too long.
