Last week, we enjoyed a couple of Christmas celebrations with our Sunday school class. On Wednesday, the girls met at Amy’s house for a cookie swap. We each brought something to share. I brought graham cracker brittle- a recipe shared with me by a sweet youth leader growing up. It was fast, easy, and yummy! Amy had cute little Christmas tins ready for everyone to stuff their treats into, which was perfect for bringing our batch to school the next day. (the cookies were great, but as teachers we get enough sugar this time of year to send us into comas!) After we finished distributing everything, we went downstairs for pizza, conversation, and a Christmas movie. It was a great, low-key night!
On Saturday, we went to another couple in our class’ house for our official class Christmas party (the boys were invited this time). We shared a great meal, hung out, and played one of my favorite party games of all time: White Elephant. We brought Christmas mugs and originally ended up with a cute Crate and Barrel dish towel and Bath and Body Works soap- not a bad trade! Unfortunately, by the end of the night we ended up with a Christmas ornament and an old iron. Disappointing, but certainly the fun of the game! Other gifts included Father of the Groom golf balls, a Santa Mr. Potato Head, and, of course, a Snuggie. One of the gifts included a note that announced that our friends, Jason and Mary, are expecting their first baby in July! We had a great time celebrating with everyone!
Unfortunately, ALL of my pictures from the party are crazy blurry, but I couldn’t resist including this one of Zach and some of the class kids. I like this about him:
