Hi folks! Greetings from the winter wonderland meets 3rd birthday preparations. Does that give us a bah-humbug spirit? Absolutely not!
To catch up, Jason and I had a great time at Behold the Lamb of God. Driving to Huntsvegas for the event made for a late night, but we got to see these great friends. Fun. And a BIG thanks to Aunt Cece for keeping E and R while we were gone--not to mention sleeping on the couch since Robert no longer shares a room without wanting to play all night.
Once we were back home, it was business as usual: running errands, Christmas shopping, laundry, attending christmas parties, and getting ready for one of our own. We had our annual church lifegroup (aka small group) christmas party Sunday night. I'm a total nerd, but I look forward to this party all year. Like the plates? I found them at Hobby Lobby. They reminded me of the song (aka You Are Holy) and some good ole' BSC days singing in the chapel. {Plus, they were 50% off--suh-weet}.
After dinner, we commenced the 4th annual Lifegroup Dirty Santa extravaganza. It is, in a word, legendary. The theme last year was Things you use on Saturday night. Gifts were interesting. This year we were all on a search for things you'd be embarssed by if your grandmother gave them to you.
First up, Vance and some sensual hand soap and body lotion. Tame enough.
The piece de resistance? John's T-shirt. And well, you can read it.
John with a CLASSY wig.
If Granny gave me immodium, I'd definitely get to runnin'. Good thing Kristin found it funny too!
And every grandmother thinks their grandson is a super hero. She just doesn't need to solidify it with briefs. Nice Clifford.
And dear Kala. How embarassing if your grandmother gave you a book on adolescent life changes?
We followed dirty santa with another FANTASTIC game called "Truth NOT Dare." Ok, I just made that title up. Do you like it? To play, you write down one true fact about yourself (one you hope no one else knows) and put it in a bowl. One person reads them aloud and we try to attribute each statement to its owner. We learned A LOT of hysterical things about each other. Truly hysterical. It is always great to celebrate with such wonderful friends. And we missed those couples who couldn't be with us!
And since then? Well, it's been non-stop, inside, fun, which of course means a trip to the McWane center.
To play in the snow...
Be back soon!
