This past Saturday, our church had the Children's Christmas Tea. It was awesome, just like last year. They have crafts on the tables for the kids, games for everyone to participate in, the Children's Choir sang a couple of songs, we all sang a couple of Christmas worship songs, watched a puppet show, had a message from our Pastor about the true meaning of this holiday, and of course, food! It's such a great time for everyone, and it's all done in two hours!
Here was the centerpiece on all the tables. We won ours! Isn't it cute?
A sample of the finger foods. And no, I did not eat those three scones! My friend didn't want hers and put them on my plate. They were so good! It's so funny because my kids are not sandwich eaters. They kept asking if I could take them to McDonald's afterward.
I stole this picture from my friends Facebook. These are the kids getting ready for the puppet show. Our Children's Ministry leaders go above and beyond. They are such a huge blessing to us!
I really wanted to take a picture of all of them smiling. Miranda is being sarcastic here because I told her to smile, and she just raised her eyebrows. My boys kept asking when they could take their sweaters off. I told them they could after I was done taking all the pictures I needed. Aren't they cute? I got them at The Children's Place. Oh, and if you noticed, my oldest son is not in the picture. Can I just say, "Drama?" Well, he was taking FOREVER AND A DAY just to get ready, so I just left him at home. No worries, he's old enough to stay home by himself.
Here they are with their buddies.
Working on some crafts.
Yay, there's a smile! Such a "tween!"

(I totally heart The Children's Place big time! I build up my stock of their clothes every summer when we visit Canada.)

What fun memories. They'll be glad you took pictures when they get older and need a reminder of all the fun they had as kids.
Looks like a wonderful time!
What a fun time at church! I love the pic of you kiddos 'smiling'!! Too funny! And the boys' hair dos are cracking me up...I don't think I'm ready for my boys to fix their own hair and want stuff in it!
We had a tea at our church, but it was for the ladies. It was so nice. Yours looks so fun too.
What great photos! It looks like it was a great event.
I love the center pieces! How cool that you won yours, do you have plans for it at home?

Your church has the best goings-on! I had to look at the picture with the craft table for a minute. It looks like there's an arrow or something going through your son's head! LOL

It sounds like you attend a really special church.
I too was really impressed with your church after this post. Seems your often posting about really awesome family activities at your church, which I am sure are also great for outreach. What a blessing!
