I spent most of Friday doing crafty projects to get ready for our Bible study Christmas party. I found a link on Pinterest to this party mix. Fortunately I bought all the ingredients last weekend, otherwise my friends would not have gotten anything nearly as yummy as a gift.
There was lots of laundry and cleaning done on Saturday, and the crockpot got plenty of use over the weekend. My good friend's baby shower was scheduled for Sunday, and we made it happen! I wasn't supposed it host it originally but it ended up that I did, and we had a fabulous turnout! We did the traditional belly measuring game, advice for the new mom, and bingo while she opened gifts. We even had a dear friend who couldn't fly in for the shower Facetime so she could still be part of the fun!
After those festivities we had our annual Edge Group Christmas party. It amazes me how every year we always have new people. We've got a couple members still in utero, one who was just born to LEBean, and our friend Bagels became a part of our community in the spring. Some old friends have moved back to the metroplex after being overseas for 3 years, and it honestly doesn't even feel like they ever left. The highlight of the evening for me was the munchkin and her toddler friends pushing each other around in the doll stroller.
Oh and one of our friends bought a donkey as the community gift.
Today has been a quieter day. We all slept in, the munchkin sleeping the longest, and we ran a couple errands. The roads were fine by the afternoon, but I'm grateful for the bonus day off with my little family. Just another 9 days of work until Christmas break, two of which I'll be spending at a conference, and we're also celebrating our anniversary (twice!) and my brother-in-law's birthday, and going to a Christmas party. Busy December!
