This week and next week, we are doing Christmas themed activities at school. I decided to turn this little nook in the corner of our room (that usually acts as our "home center") into a living room/library. I used some mini furniture that was already in our room, and I put up a class Christmas tree, and I made a "fireplace" for the kids to read by. This is how it all turned out. They LOVE to sit by the "fire" and read their books to each other! :)
I have also had the priviledge to lead an 8th grade girls bible study, or 180 group, this year. We meet at a "host home" and have dinner and do a bible study lesson. I lead this group with my friend Sarah, and I know that we both have laughed so hard every Wednesday night, and we have had so much fun getting to know these girls. We get to go watch them play their sports, listen to their band/choir concerts, and just hang out and talk about boys! I am so thankful that I get to hangout with these girls every week. They are all so unique and interesting. It is so fun to watch them all grow in their relationships with Christ.
We had our 180 Christmas party last night. We had dinner and then everyone brought a gift so we could do a fun exchange. A lot of my girls think that my brother, who is a sophomore in high school, is just too cute, so I thought it would be interesting to put a picture of my brother with my gift to see what would happen. The girls went crazy when they saw it! Here are some fun pictures from last night...
Kelsi loved the picture of Hunter that was attached to my gift!
Here she is pleading with someone not to "steal" her awesome gift....and her picture of my brother!
