Senior High Girls

It was about time for another senior high girls sleepover at our house. I really enjoy these girls so much. We had a fun time making pumpkin pies for our church's Harvest Home ministry (a Thanksgiving ministry to those in our church and surrounding community). Some girls also made the breakfast casserole we were going to have in the morning. And, other girls made cookies . . . well, for us . . . we needed some chocolate and sugar.

Then, (with Christmas music in the air), we made some Christmas cards for older folks and shut-ins. That was a fun time. While we made cards, it was a great time of going around and sharing different things we were thankful for. I love hearing how deep these girls can get with different things they are grateful for.

Then, we played a Cranium game called Whoonu. Ever heard of it? I hadn't. Brian picked it up at a local thrift store on Friday. (Brian is the most amazing thrift store shopper, if you were wondering :). It's a fun game, where you have to guess other players' "favorites." We had some good laughs.

Around 12:30am, girls started getting ready for bed and they were out surprisingly fast. Saturday morning was breakfast casserole (yum -- good work girls), and cinnamin buns (which you can never go wrong with). After some quick clean up, we were off to Color Me Mine, where we painted pottery for 3 hours. The girls love it, and they especially wanted to go in November in order to make Christmas gifts. I love seeing each girls' creativity come out.

God has really blessed me with these girls.
