This year our church decided to up the ante for the annual Christmas party and turn it into a festival complete with an outdoor live nativity, caroling, face painting, crafts, a bonfire, hayride and cooking baking/decorating. It was amazing! Friday I spent the day helping Laurie set up our cozy faux living room in the church foyer, and Saturday around 2 we all headed over to help with finishing touches before kicking things off. My three middle children were all quite involved, and had a wonderful time celebrating Jesus' birth. Rilla was totally fed up with being at chruch AGAIN and it was a miracle I got to eat, and that only because someone else held her while I quickly piled yummy potluck food on my plate and scarfed it down. John was working but helped set up Friday and many of the ladies sent home leftovers for him.
