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! :)

It was so much fun and you guys did an amazing job!!... However, Scott is looking a little contemplative in the last picture... Perhaps he thinks he should take home some of the decorations since you worked so hard on them :)
