CHRISTMAS BEGINS – A FEW DAYS EARLY – Dec 23rd
We used to go to Tim’s parents on Christmas Eve for lunch and an afternoon with them. However, a few years ago our church started having Christmas Eve services too early for us to continue that tradition so we moved our lunch/afternoon with them to the 23rd! We really enjoy …
OUT ON THE TOWN – Dec 22nd
Amanda’s cell group and leader went out for a fancy Christmas dinner! They had fun going out shopping for their dresses beforehand and the 3 girls had a sweet surprise for their leader. They all pitched in to purchase her a diamond necklace for Christmas. They were so excited to …
LAST MINUTE SHOPPING – Dec 22nd

LEGO ADVENT CALENDAR
