OC Family Christmas Breakfast '08

The Otter Creek Family Christmas Breakfast was today! It is such a special event-- and so fun to share with our church friends! :)

I spent Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday at church working on the stage decorations. Tons of work-- but, lots of fun. It is rewarding though, and I love using my artistic side. At one point (while I was on top of a 10 foot ladder in the sanctuary all by myself trying to put glittery deco-mesh on the highest point of the Christmas tree!!), I did stop to think, "I have spent 3 straight days working on the decorations for this and haven't finished my own decorations at home!" So, I still haven't lived up to my new goal of putting family/home first yet-- but, at least I am aware!
Props to our AWESOME lifegroup who worked so hard to make this event a success! What a blessing they are to us-- and to Otter Creek! :)

Luke and Caroline with Santa! So sweet! :)

The Stage! I thought it turned out really cute! Thanks to my Dad for making my balloon tree stands over Thanksgiving. That was a fun project and relatively easy. My fingers are still sore from tying all those balloons!



Our wonderful lifegroup! :)

Lighting of the Green




















Tuesday was Lipscomb's annual "Lighting of the Green." Our lifegroup went to hear Amy Grant and soak up the holiday cheer! It was cold, but perfect Christmas weather!

This is the most wonderful time of the year! :)
