Blessed

The girls are lucky.
They have a group of friends
they love hanging out with.
The ages are mixed,
but they all get along so well.
During the summers,
when there are no children's programs at the church,
these 5 are the constant in the nursery
while all the parents help out with the youth activities.
They've dubbed themselves,
"The Nursery Club".
 
Last night,
the Nursery Club
got together for a little
cookie-decorating fun!

 
 
 
 




Then we packaged the cookies up
and delivered them to several people in our church.
 
We loaded up in the back of the pickup
and off we went!
It was unreal how warm it was here this weekend!
Yesterday it was in the 80's!
We were in short sleeves and flip flops!
 
 
The girls also wowed the crowds
with a few
Christmas carols.


 
 The rest of these pictures are
from my phone
so the quality isn't as great.
But I love them anyways!




 
The Nursery Club
Addie Grace, Crista, Gracie, Lilee & Annabelle
 
After delivering cookies,
eating pizza
and exchanging gifts,
we piled back in the pickup
and went to see the Christmas lights.
Next year,
the ladies are driving and the guys can 
ride in the back
with the monkeys! 
 
I'm so thankful we had an opportunity
to re-focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
Seeing a few tears from some of our recipients
meant we blessed a few hearts last night.
And as always,
when we bless others,
we, in turn, are blessed!

Love this! It's so awesome to see you kids make such great friends. Sophia has been blessed with the same 3 BFF since she came home. It makes my heart melt to watch them be real friends to each other. I'm glad your girls have the same thing ♥
