Christmas Tea

Each year I've held a Christmas Tea w/neighbors. This year was so much fun as the girls are crazy bakers. We created (copied) 14 different recipes in 2 days and had a flour MESS in the kitchen and were exhausted afterward, but the results were wonderful. The girls really did the bulk of the baking (by their choosing) and I just instructed, answered questions on how to do things, kept things clean for them to use and was an extra set of hands. It worked great.

This year my theme was "Redeeming the Time" starting w/the book of Esther and her redemption of her people, to Christ's redemption of His people through his birth, death and resurrection.

The girls also served again this year along with my accountability partner. Which made the tea even more relaxing for me. It was disappointing that some of my regular neighbors who come couldn't attend (we missed you Jackie and Sherri) but there were a couple of new faces this year making for a wonderful evening.
