ON TUESDAY NIGHT A GROUP OF LADIES FROM MY CHURCH CAME TO CELEBRATE THE SEASON. It was a nice gathering for a rainy school night. (30 + people braved the weather to come out.) I simply love our group of women at church. My friends are all ages, from all different types of backgrounds, professions, and personalities. We have such fun together. Through the years we have laughed and cried our way through different situations. It was an honor to have them in my home.

Want to know the amazing thing…I didn’t have to cook one thing. Nope. Nothing. There was so much food there we were overflowing with extras. I made coffee and provided half and half. And water I guess. That’s another thing I like about my church friends. They are awesome cooks.

I think this little sweetie wins the most stylish friend of the night. This is my friend Eileen’s 4th baby and she is such a fun one to watch. All smiles!

The week went by in a flash for me after the party. My ballerina got a sinus infection and couldn’t dance in her last school performance. She couldn’t sleep at night either. That was challenging for me because I love my sleep as a mother. She’s feeling a little better now and on the mend.

William has his chorus performance tomorrow in a beautiful Episcopal church with his school chorus. Right after that we rush back to our church and get he and Grace ready for their Children’s Performance at church. No shepard or angel this year…they are getting too big for that apparently. Grace is singing Silent Night acappella.

She’s never done that before either…seven year olds don’t know that they can’t do something. I guess we should all be that way.
