Breakfast w/ Santa, Girville & SS Party all in 1 day

This Saturday I had a busy but fun day. It started first thing at 8am to Tyler's school for Breakfast with Santa. We went in and had muffins, donuts, fruit and bagels donated by BI-LO, after the kids ate they had all kind of crafts they could make. One thing that I thought was really sweet was that all the kids could make a card to someone special in a nursing home. While I was helping Tyler write his he wanted to make sure that I wrote on there Merry Christmas to someone specail. It was really sweet how he kept on and on about that. After crafts Santa came and the kids got to go and visit him. I didn't think my child was going to leave him. He was sitting there the whole time giving him a list cause he is always Xbox or Gamecube and all the boy stuff. He just wanted to talk to Santa and seeing him with that his excitement all over his face I hated to tell him that he had to come on cause there were other kids that wanted to see him too... Here are the pics (to me the slide thing is some much easier on my computer)..

After Breakfast I took off and went with 14 other ladies from church to Brookwood Community church in Simpsonville (my old stomping ground)for there Christmas in Girlville. It was a craft show with TONS of jewerely for sale the best part of that was that my sister came for that with her best friend that while I was growing up was another sister to me and we ran into several people that were friends of theirs (you have to remember I was 9 yrs younger and my mom work retail and my dad travel so I was with them all the time so I remember their friends and they remember me so it was great seeing alot of them. After the craft show we moved into what I was told was their sanctuary for lunch and to hear Kim Bolton speak and sing. She was a wondeful singer and I hate that I didn't get a CD, she was also very funny but she talked about the real reason of Christmas which is the birth of Jesus and she reminded us also that people will remember us by our relationship with Jesus and also our relationship with others so if you are wearing your pin or shirt "Jesus is the reason" then you better be acting it so don't be like a mad bull when you are in Wal-Mart having to wait in line when there are only 3 register open and the 10 items or less there is somebody in front of you with 50 and the cashier has to change her tape and get change. We need to as Christ like in all situations cause you never know who is watching us. I will have to say also that the ladies at Brookwood decorated very pretty and 2 of our ladies won the pretty centerpieces off the table and Cathy Lancaster won a beautiful braclet and I won a hand painted candle glass holder which was pretty funny cause I was thinking of buying it......

The last thing of today was our Sunday school Christmas party. I never go to Sunday school anymore cause I teach the youth girls so it is always good to together and see everybody. We had is at the CLC in the canteen and we wanted it to be more festived so we set the tables up with table clothes and candles, took a tree out of the lobby (don't tell lol) played Christmas music while people were coming in and then while we were eating we ahd Its A Wonderful Life playing for anybody that was not socializing. We just all brought appetizers and desserts and it was great tasting all the different foods. After we ate we played a couple of friendly round of Catch Phrase ladies vs men. Ladies won 3x's and the men won 1, there was alot of laughter and it is really a great game to play in a big group and the hints are just as funny as the answers... It was a great day and night all around...
