the most wonderful time of the year

yesterday our "younger adults" group (ie. 3 of us!) went shopping for operation christmas child - it was so fun! i love buying presents for people. we filled 2 boxes, one for a 10-14 year old boy, and one for a 10-14 year old girl. the girl's box is pretty full, we added a care bear. later on we hung out at our apartment and ate cookies and rockets. chris and jeanine joined me, jen and graeme. good times. we had to rotate who sat on the couch and our wooden chairs - numb bum! oh well. we may need to get some cushions for having company over! all this to say, i love giving gifts, and i can't wait for christmas!! annie brought some decorations from home. they made our little apartment happy.
