Life Group Christmas Party

On December 17, we had a Christmas party with Mom and Dad’s Life Group from church! For those of you who might be unfamiliar with the term, at our church we have Life Groups instead of adult Sunday school. The adults meet during the week for an in-depth Bible study that digs deeper into the topic preached on the prior Sunday. In Mom and Dad’s group, there are 18 couples. There is a great mix of families with babies and young children, to older couples with grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
 
We had a delicious potluck with lots of southern comfort food and LOADS of Christmas cookies. The leader of Mom and Dad’s LG bakes 3,000 Scandinavian Christmas cookies every year to honor his mother and grandmother.

 
I think the families in our Life Group have some of the cutest kids I’ve ever met! I was in babysitter’s heaven with all the little babies and young kids. J
Before we ended our evening, we all gathered in the living room to sing Christmas carols. It was so beautiful!

We visited for a while after that before we left. We had a great evening fellowshipping with fellow believers and getting to know some of the people from our new church better!

    It is a lot of cookies, Alexis! He actually takes a week off work to make them.

    I hope your family had a wonderful Christmas as well! I look forward to seeing pictures of your Christmas on your blog eventually!

    Wow. That's dedication!

    We're working on the blog thing....actually we're making a new one. As soon as it's finished and opened for viewers we'll post the new address on our current blog so you can go and explore. :)

    We had a very good Christmas- I hope you did also.

    Have a blessed New Year! Can you believe it's almost 2013!? Crazy but exciting- it's closer to graduation! :)

    Joyfully His,
    Alexis

    I look forward to seeing your new family blog once it's finished, Alexis! I'm sure that's kept ya'll busy. :-) Designing a blog (or any website) is a lot of work!

    It is hard to believe that 2013 is nearly upon us! It makes me realize that our time here on this earth is limited, and that I need to make the most of each day!
