Sweet Sounds of Christmas...

The children at church were practicing for their Christmas musical tonight, since we did not have missions I snuck in to watch them sing. Seeing their bright, excited faces and hearing their voices singing praises in celebration of the birth of Christ really made it feel like Christmas. The bright red poinsettias were on the stage and all the teachers and kids were working hard practicing their songs for Sunday nights program. It is amazing to see how much they grow and change from year to year. I taught some the children in preschool when they were 2 years old and now they are in the 3rd grade (makes me feel kinda old!). Some of them were baptized this year and it is so awesome to see God at work in their young lives. I can't wait until Sunday night to watch the final production! Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night :)

Good friends, Good times

Today is the day, I have finally started to blog! I made a blog about a month ago with good intentions but am just now getting around to blogging! I was inspired by my sis Kel and our friend Shanna. We are having a fun girls night in. I have been reminded of how much I miss my childhood!!! Kelli made some yummy chicken noodle soup, and Shanna made so tasty lemon cookies. I also got in touch with my "inner rock star" hehe..we sang and danced to some old school music (NSYNC, Backstreet Boys, and Hanson). Just like old times!I have been reminded of just how blessed I am so have such wonderful friends and family! I love you girls and can't wait to come back and party in Troy again soon :)
