Kickoff to the Christmas Festivities Part 1

Our very first Christmas event this year was a very beautiful Christmas Tea at Valley Baptist Church where our brother Gunnar is the pastor. The ladies of the church put on a very wonderful tea for the church ladies and those they wanted to invite. Thankfully, we got invited! Anna invited Elena and me, plus Grandma H. and Maria to this elegant event. We all got dolled up and headed out for a fun evening with the ladies. Elena got to wear her first Christmas dress, too! (Thanks, Jessica for your gift!)

Anna and Maria had beautifully decorated one of the tables (each hostess was in charge of decorating her own table) and it looked fantastic!


We were served some delicious sandwiches and delectable desserts by some of the men from the church. We definitely enjoyed ourselves while eating and talking around the table.




We sang some Christmas songs, heard from a great speaker and were encouraged overall! And to finish off the evening we took some (okay, lots!) of pictures, of which I will show you a few...

Remember how I mentioned that Elena sucks on anything these days? Apparently, my face is not exempt from that!

We all love Elena so much that we are willing to imitate her cute (and silly!) ways.

Thank you, Anna, for inviting us!
