Christmas Time is Here!

I know, I know. I've been behind on my blogging; however, since December 1st to now I have had 11 parties. Each of them have been so much fun, but I am partied out! I'm so thankful that the Lord has blessed me with such an abundance of friends that I can surround myself with! Honestly, I feel like my life is one big continuous party because I just enjoy each day to the fullest and have so much fun doing it!

My first Christmas party was at Mrs. Barbara's house. The "Golden Girls" (see a few blog posts below) were all in attendance at this party along with several other of Mrs. B's friends.
Barbs, Me and Francie
These are a few of my J.A.M. (Judson Arts Ministry) kiddos before their Christmas program. They worked so hard and did a fabulous job! I'm sure that many of you are thinking, "Emilee? Working with children?" I must admit that this is completely out of my 'comfort zone', but I have really enjoyed working with this rambunctious group and I think that they have taught me more than I have possibly taught them. It's amazing how God works like that!

For one of the sounds, Mrs. Susan taught some of the kids to play the hand chimes. You may also notice the beautiful banners in the background--my kids worked very hard to make these for the Christmas program (thanks Mrs. Susan for your leading role in the banners! They looked great!
Next I had another party at Mrs. Barbara's with our Life Group (Sunday School). We had so much fun as usual. Finally a pic of all 4 "Golden Girls"! Our Life Group Leader, Jenny--such an amazing woman with so many talents!

Then, day while I was at work I was pleasantly surprised to have a little visitor stop by! My boss brought his son with him for a little bit. So The Bear came and sat with me at my desk for a little while to play. Unfortunately I don't keep a toy stash at work so the pink scarf was entertaining for a little bit. The Bear is such a cutie and I can't believe how fast he is growing!





Since it is 1:45 a.m. and I am starting to close my eyes, I am going to call it a night and will continue with more fun pics from this month's various fiascos soon!
