December 2023

Playing some games at a ladies outreach Christmas event. I met a college student named YuQi who happens to live very close to me!

Ladies posing in front of the Christmas tree.
Regan got some new plants for her dorm room for Christmas.
I was sick for most of December. Thankfully, I felt well on our anniversary (just super tired from being sick) Two days later, I was down for the count again. Burger King lunch was nice :)
Our tradition...year 22 by a Christmas tree...and finsihing up Christmas shopping together.
Ended the evening with dinner and an apple pie with vanilla ice cream. YUM
Katherine was in her first tennis tournament. She placed second. Great job, Katherine! This is her friend Emma from tennis class.
These little ones have my heart...these are my little Sunday school kids. They are so much fun. Here they are practicing their song for Christmas.
Learning about Jesus being the Good Shepherd...
They were all little sheep and were showing me what a sheep sounds like (and following the shepherd)
Afterwards they got a VERY special snack! It was actually meant to go home with them for the whole family, but our snack person forgot to bring snacks, so these guys went home on sugar overload...haha!
Homemade Sheddan cookies in each bag
These are a few of teh kids from our afternoon Sunday school class.
We had a Christmas party and played some games as well.
They had a good time.
There was a gift exchange AND each kid received their very own Bibles from me and Rachel. Davide was super excited that he got an Action Bible!
And Yuan Yuan was a fan of her Storybook Bible :)
THe kids that couldn't make it still got Bibles, just a little later.
Walking back to the metro after class.
Katherine enjoying some tennis and pretty skies
Jonathan helped a friend of ours put together an IKEA cabinet for her kitchen. As a thank you, she fed us lunch!
Hudson performed at the school Christmas program. They asked him to be the piano player for a couple of the songs.
Studying (and Scout breaking the rules)
Pick me! They say
Katherine got a snow globe for Christmas. It's so cute!

Look at these cuties! Going back to Sunday school after singing their song in church.
