Christmas Play of the Adorable Kind

 

Naomi, Anya, Grace, Joel, and Lily were able to participate in the Grace Baptist Church Christmas play Sunday evening. How very fun!!!!! 

 

Grace, Joel, and Lily go to Grace Baptist's Wednesday night Patch Club. Very good program. I go through the weekly Bible lessons with those three as a part of their homeschool and I love it. I look forward to it and even though it is for grade school kids, I personally learn a lot. Maybe even more that the kids do.

 

Anya and Naomi go to Friday night teen group at Grace before Club 180 at Christ Community.

 

The Christmas program was the first time we attended a Grace service but know the Pastor and his wife a little more casually through the kids. They are such nice people. The Christmas program was a fun time meeting people and fellowshipping. We were told that fellowship is the Baptist term for eating.  Ha-ha. I like fellowshipping! Someone made this WONDERFUL buffalo cream cheese dip. It was VERY good. If I could have made it look like a natural, normal thing, I would have just hung out right next to the buffalo dip fellowshipping with a little double dipping.

 

I did not get the greatest pictures but here you go!

We stopped by The Yellow Mushroom for ice cream cones when we got back into Waseca.

It was a fun time.

Interesting is this group of five children are our 6th grade and younger group.

How can that be??!!

Remember when all of our kids seemed so little?

Where did the time go?

How to Make a Tasty Supper

Find a cute girl who wears hats well

Let her do her magic with the rolling pin and tortilla dough

Cook up the tortillas on a hot griddle and add some southwest bean mixture

Finally get the approval of another cute girl who, in this case, wears a sweatshirt hood well.

That is how it is done!

*******

P.S. If you are curious as to the hat and hood wearing at our house...

It is either that or fight for a spot by the heat vent.

Hat or heat vent.

It is your choice.

We will not judge.

Promise...

Us Two (I Mean Three)

Us Two

Wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
Whatever I do, he wants to do,
"Where are you going today?" says Pooh:
"Well, that's very odd 'cos I was too.
Let's go together," says Pooh, says he.
"Let's go together," says Pooh.

"What's twice eleven?" I said to Pooh.
("Twice what?" said Pooh to Me.)
"I think it ought to be twenty-two."
"Just what I think myself," said Pooh.
"It wasn't an easy sum to do,
But that's what it is," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what it is," said Pooh.

"Let's look for dragons," I said to Pooh.
"Yes, let's," said Pooh to Me.
We crossed the river and found a few-
"Yes, those are dragons all right," said Pooh.
"As soon as I saw their beaks I knew.
That's what they are," said Pooh, said he.
"That's what they are," said Pooh.

"Let's frighten the dragons," I said to Pooh.
"That's right," said Pooh to Me.
"I'm not afraid," I said to Pooh,
And I held his paw and I shouted "Shoo!
Silly old dragons!"- and off they flew.

"I wasn't afraid," said Pooh, said he,
"I'm never afraid with you."

So wherever I am, there's always Pooh,
There's always Pooh and Me.
"What would I do?" I said to Pooh,
"If it wasn't for you," and Pooh said: "True,
It isn't much fun for One, but Two,
Can stick together, says Pooh, says he. "That's how it is," says Pooh.
