We had a great time at the Ladies Ornament Christmas Party this year, but that's not to say that there were some that didn't make it, that were really missed. This is the one night a year that we all get to come out of our shells and show who we really are! ;o) There's stealing and conniving and conspiring going on, but it's all in good times. Can't wait till this years Party! It has already been scheduled so that we can all try to plan our other events around it. It will be December 3, 2010 @ Lesa Osborn's house.
We always have the best food!!!!No Peeking!!!Enjoying great food with wonderful friends!All of the beautiful gifts!Just some of the gals sittin' around waitin' to get started stealin'. There's nothing better than a wonderfully blessed home with amazing Christian Sisters!

It Is Better To Give Than To Recieve!!













In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.’
-Acts 20:35

Kids Ornament Making Party 11/30/09

The kids had a Wonderful and CrAzY Time at the ornament making party this week. They just love getting together and building strong christian friendships together. They get along so well and look forward to each and every gathering. Notice that I stated earlier that it was crazy trying to organize a big group project, but the kids had no idea that it was chaotic. They just knew they were there with great friends having a blast. And that is all that matters to us parents! As long as the children are in good company having fun, that is all that matters when it comes to chaotic! ;) Plus their snowmen turned out super cute!! But we are going to have to work on the borax ornaments and figure out what went wrong with them. ;)


Santa's Helpers getting everything ready ;) The kiddos making their snowflake/anything they want ornaments ;)
Skylee working hard! Or just liking cutting ;)
Aiden and Kam deciding on what to make.

Dylan thinks, "So many choices I don't know what to choose!"

Griffin, Jacie and Quincy getting started!

Cash digging right in!

This was a messy one, but the kids liked it the messier it got ;)

Doss thought he was big stuff having permission to make a mess! ;)

Zoey and Charity working on her beautiful Snowman!

The beautiful outcome of our wonderful night!
Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow!
(But no Ice please!) ;)

This here is a Great Bunch of kids!
Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.

May I Take Your Order? 11/20/09

This past Friday night all of the kids got together and served anyone and everyone that wanted a good home cooked meal. The kids thought this was the neatest thing ever. It was also a great learning opportunity for them to learn to serve others before themselves. Some of them were making comments like, "Wow! Waiters have really hard jobs!" So maybe this will serve as a lesson to some of them, for when we are out eating.

Here are just a few snapshots from that night ;)



We had a great turn out!! Thanks to everyone that came. We really appreciate you guys!



The plates were bigger than some of the kids!

But they loved every minute of it. ;)



What would you like to drink?





After serving their tables, the kids put on a little dinner theater show for the ones dining with us. They sang a few of their new songs they have learned in children's church and recited some of the memory verses that they have worked so hard memorizing. We are so proud of you kids. These are just a few of them saying their verses.

Just some of the servers for the night! You guys did an awesome job!!!
And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him. - Colossians 3:17

Work Day! 11/7/09

The kids had a great time this past weekend helping clean up Ms. Nadine's yard! They loved just getting together and enjoying this beautiful weather we have been blessed with here lately. They didn't even realize they were working! They were having so much fun.

Just Some of Liberty's Little Workers

What better time is there to train children to do works for the Lord then when they are young?
