James and I kicked off our official holiday season this week when we decorated our mantle with my family's nativity set. It was really exciting to see that set in our home and to be able to set it up with James and tell him stories of when we used to set it up when we were kids!
We also had our Christmas party with our small group from Elevation yesterday and we had a great time. Scott cooked some fabulous vegetarian chili and we also had taco dip, corn bread, and apple pie for dessert of course, yum! James and I have had a really great time getting to know everyone from our small group over the past few months. It has really helped us feel like we belong more with the church and we have met some really wonderful people! Jeremy and Judy gave us all some fun gifts that I had never seen before...you pull of the ends and the gift pops out...not to mention the crowns and corny jokes that were inside...we all had lots of laughs!
James and I with our crowns on and our gifts!
Scott and April...one of the set of expectant parents in our group!
Judy & Jeremy...our fearless leaders and the other set of expectant parents!
Eric & Carrianne all dressed up for the Florida game...we were all thinking of Carrianne last night while watching the game and i'm glad that she will be able to breathe now!
Scott & April's dog Doozer...he entertains us all each week!
And you know if we put up another dog we have to add AJ as well...this is probably what he was doing while we were at the party!
