Friday: After school I went to my favorite boutique shop called Catching Fireflies. Then I raced home to tidy up the house and to my surprise Carrie cleaned the whole house before I got home so that was a welcome treat. Our small group Bible study met and enjoyed some Christmas festivities. Alli brought us English "cracker gifts". In each of them there was a toy, a riddle, and a great tissue paper hat. I really loved the hat!!! This year instead of giving gifts to each other - we donated to a charity. Alli donated to the UN AIDS fund. Carrie donated to a dozen chicks to needy village through Heifer International. (This was my favorite donation). I donated to a local family at Kensington Community Church who have adopted 8 children all from the same birth family. They are struggling to get the kids gifts for Christmas. Sarah and Kathy have both donated to Samaritan's Purse. Together we also sponsored a senior at the Lighthouse where Mom faithfully served as the Director of Emergency Services! After our group met and took our annual Christmas Picture we headed to Meijers at 10:00 pm to do a little Christmas
Shopping. It was a lot of fun!
Saturday: Today I have a wedding to go to for a colleague. It is all the way out in Redford so I will only be going to the ceremony itself. Later I will be going to the Nutcracker Performance by the Rose Marie Floyd Civic Ballet. One of my students has the lead role of Clara again. It will be her final performance before she graduates.
Sunday: I am going to sleep in and then go to church at 10:30. I imagine that I will finish up my shopping and write the rest of the test that I am giving on Monday and Tuesday!
