Happy Chrithankmas!

Today's meeting was a celebration of the season. Being greeting by a vegetarian turkey on the treat table put a smile on my face.

Paula introduced use to a fun icebreaker game using M&Ms. We were told to choose 1-5 M&Ms in our choice of color combinations. Each color represented a personal fun fact we were to share with our table. Somehow our table just wound up discussing trips to Hawaii since that was the consensus on "favorite place on earth." Now I want to hop on a plane!

Michie shared an encouraging devotion from Proverbs 3:5-6 about paths. Up for a hike, Michie?
The key for the icebreaker game is pictured below also in case you'd like to use it at a party or other gathering.

On to craft time! We split in to two groups: one to make the turkey pictured below and one to create an initial Christmas ornament.

Crystal did a brilliant job getting together supplies and explaining the process. 

Lisa, Mandi, and Jess were listening intently. Good thing since I was busy snapping photos instead of paying attention to directions. *grin*

What are you thankful for? 

Ashley and Elena had wobbly turkeys which they solved in a creative way

Legs! 

We spent the majority of our time with our first craft project so some of us brought turkey materials home and some brought ornament materials home to finish up.

There were some beautiful creations in the ornament group!

A big shout out to our nursery workers who made sure our kids were having fun while we were.

Mom's Night Out: Casa Santiago

It was Mexican night for Mom's Night Out tonight. Olé! The ten of us enjoyed a nice break from the kiddos and shared a lot of laughs. Christy, we hope your little one feels better soon!

There was a little rooster in the hen house tonight. ;)
