Sunday, November 15

The Gift Sunday at Cottonwood Creek.

Kyle fervently opposed me taking pictures in church --- he didn't think we were allowed so I had to catch what I could (look at him scowling at me for taking the picture AT THE FRONT...MOM!) --- I took them with my iphone so they are not the best clarity but I have the moment documented anyway --despite protes.

It was a great service: they had step dancers, a man who did tai chi, ballroom dancers and some in African garb. They played music and did a movie/live action skit. The pastor started the service by saying "Good news....you can cheer...I am not preaching this week." We all clapped in good humor of course.

They started with 24 girls getting their hair cut to make wigs for children cancer patients. CJ illustrated it for you.

Before we left for church, we stopped at the donut place on Custer and picked out donuts --- sprinkle ones, ones shaped like angels and of course, Sunny D! That meant that all of us but mom, had donut remenants on our clothing and face. Giggle....I guess that's okay though.

Now, we are playing outside in the backyard with bubbles, chalk and on the fort. It is supposed to rain this afternoon so we are getting our energy out now.
