Santa's Workshop & A Time to Serve

The kids had a blast at Santa's Workshop, on Friday, Dec 12. There were a ton of crafts to do and candy canes to be gotten...and they did well sitting on Santa's lap (Ashley didn't say much... Daniel stared straight ahead and just said, "Diego"). We did our Time to Serve project with our small group the next morning, in the Alzheimer's Unit at the nursing home across from LifeBridge. We made Christmas tree ornaments and brought cookies...and Daniel & Lucas sang to the wonderful people there ("Dringle Bells, Dringle Bells). It reminded me of visits to see Grammy and I missed her. Ashley cut out early, to go to Lauren's birthday party and then the kids went to Lauren's house that night, and we had a wonderful, kid-free feast with our small group. It was a fun, busy weekend. We taught in the 2s & 3s class on Sunday...only had 8 kids there (including our 2), as a cold front blew through and it snowed most of the night and was below zero! It seems to be how the weather is going to be on Sundays in December.
