December was a very busy month for us like it is for many people! The first Friday was the Music Department Christmas Party. Amber took the day off work to help me shop and set everything up at the Simpson's house. She also made a guest appearance as Oprah, and we played a few fun Christmas games. People seemed to really enjoy themselves.
We had some delicious food! We got it from places all over town: Wing Zone, Publix, Peterbrook Chocolate, Celebrations Bakery, Sams. 70 people had signed up for the party, but only about 50 showed up. We had a TON of extra food left over. Here is Jeffrey bringing in the fried mushrooms from Zaxbys. Yum!
I was not going to put up any Christmas decorations because of everything going on but got inspired one night to put up a little cheap tree we got from Target last year. I'm glad I did, because Katherine really enjoyed helping. She stayed entertained the entire time.
December was a big month musically at church. There were two choir specials each week, including the youth and children's choir. We also did special Christmas worship music. I headed up an all-church Christmas caroling event and was in charge of the Christmas Eve service. My birthday was in the middle of all of that (see the other birthday post). Exhausting! I did find time for a little fun with friends. We went to My Monet downtown and painted a tree.
