Christmas Wrapping

You may remember that our Wednesday night Bible study group chose to devote our Wednesday nights through the holidays to service.  Lacey recently found out about a family associated with our church who could use help for Christmas.  The family consists of four orphans (two brothers and two sisters) who have been taken in by their single aunt.  Needless to say, anyone single who found herself unexpectedly raising four children would probably needs LOTS of help, only one of which would be financial.

One of the other small groups at church volunteered to shop for the two boys, so our group said that we would provide Christmas for the two girls (ages 12 and 9).  Last Wednesday night, we all met up at Target to do some Christmas shopping and then had a great dinner at Cheddar's.

We had a lot of fun picking things out for them: clothes, shoes, toys, purses, and cosmetics (fun girly things like lotions, nail polish, lipgloss, etc.).  However, the part I enjoyed the most was picking out lots of fun things to fill a stocking!  We ended up with lots of great stuff, and it was fun to see everything that the other couples chose.

Last night we all got together for pizza and wrapped the gifts that were bought last week.  We had a good time, and each of the girls ended up with several packages to open on Christmas morning!
