Today was the first Sunday of Advent. I hope it was a meaningful day today for you. We have 3 advent calendars to keep up with. We have a wall hanging and then Aunt Michelle sent each of the kids their own calendar with chocolate surprises. After church we went to Don & Isy's for lunch and then spent most of the afternoon there. The guys watched football and the girls did some crafting (Quinn was in both activities every other 15 minutes).
Yesterday Madison rang bells for the Salvation Army at JC Penney's. Other than being cold, it went fine and she's so hot blooded she wasn't even cold! Anyway, the people walking in/out were very polite and lots of people dropped something in the pot. This was a 4th grade project from school. They donated their gift of "time" to our community. Quinn's 2nd grade class is donating "goods" in the form of toiletries and then they are going to distribute them to the Greencroft Senior Center. His class does a basic economics portion and they talk about goods and services a lot. One night he even prayed and thanked God "for all of the goods and services that we have."
Friday night we went to Goshen College's Christmas concert. It was excellent! I would highly recommend it for next year. I guess it is going to be on our local network, WNIT, on Christmas eve. Both Tony and I really enjoyed it. The GC president's son, Quinn, who must be around 9 or so, sang a soprano solo. He did such a good job. We've never met another Quinn before so we'll have to catch up to him one of these days.
Well, tomorrow is Monday. You probably know how excited I am about it. I'll think optimistically... last Monday wasn't bad at all so may be I'll get 2 in a row like that. Hope you all have a good week.
Love to all, Leah
