Yes, it is almost Christmas and I am NO WHERE near done with my shopping!  William and I did go get a few things Friday night but we still have a few more people to buy for.  I will get it done on Friday.

Last week was a very busy week. 

We had our children’s ministry workers Christmas party at church on Tuesday night.  It was fun.  There was karaoke and I sang Mary Did You Know with a few people

Thursday was THE best day!  The kids and I served the needy at the Manna Ministries Christmas dinner at church.  SOOO many people came through!  To read more about it, visit Pastor Chad’s Blog. It made me feel good to be able to help. 

Friday was jam packed!  We had craft day with the Fray-Mill homeschoolers.  It was at our church.  The kids were able to make all kinds of crafts to give away as Christmas gifts.  Friday night, I had to go back to church for a City Lights (children’s ministry) meeting.  When I got done, I came home and picked up William and we went shopping.

Saturday morning, Amy and I had our nails done and then we went to Santa on the Square in Covington. They LOVED it! It is a project that the Junior Auxiliary of Covington-Tipton County does every year.  I look forward to working it again next year.  I had a great time!

Sunday, after church, our family went to see The Memphis Messiah at the Cannon Center. When it was over, we rode the trolley around Downtown.   

Sorry for rambling on and on…..I just haven’t had much time to post lately so I want to share what we have been doing that has kept me away from the computer.

We are having our Christmas party tonight with our Royal Rangers class.  I got them all a little gift and I hope they like them.  These boys are just so much fun!  I will be stepping down from teaching the Ranger Kids in the spring when my son moves up to the older boys class but I will still get to see “my boys” on Sunday mornings in City Lights!

Tomorrow night William and I are going to see Trans-Siberian Orchestra! I got William the tickets for our anniversary (December 9th).  It is going to be fantastic!

Well, I guess that is all for now.  Thanks for reading.  If I don’t get to post before next Tuesday, I hope that you have a blessed Christmas.  Enjoy your family and friends during this wonderful time and don’t forget the reason that we celebrate. 

Hey everyone!
   I just wanted to let you know that if you want to order Discovery Toys for Christmas, you should order by 12/10.  You can order right off of my web site at www.toymomma.com or contact me via email (christie@christiejarvis.com) or phone 901-270-3845 OR toll free 1-866-945-TOYS.
Here are a couple of ideas for you!

 
Fast-paced, trivia-laced, big fun entertainment for the whole brainy family. The aim of the game is to race to “the brain.” With a flurry of flashing lights and sounds, the 3-D brain randomly chooses one of six categories, then you choose one of three difficulty levels. Your knowledge, strategy and luck move you around the board in your race to the brain. Watch out—board events can quickly change the destiny of the game, so it takes more than brains to win. Great for developing thinking and social skills. For 2 to 4 players, play a long or short version. Includes game board, electronic brain, 280 question cards, 4 playing pieces, 2 dice. Requires 2 AA batteries, not included. From 9 years – Adult (A, K,V)
 

 
It’s fashion design with math in mind. With the latest to wear, plus accessories and hair, 1 or 2 or more friends can make fashion happen with this 37 piece set. Mixing and matching the 5”(13cm) models to create more than 200 looks again and again reinforces sequencing and construction skills important for math and science success. Everything stores neatly in a snappy plastic case. Colors may vary. From 4 years & Up (K, V)
 

 
Tic-tac-toe to the max. The goal is still to get three color chips in a row, yet with this game you can stack chips, move them around or even flip the stacks over. Just when you think you’ve got your chips all lined up, the game does a flip flop and somebody else lands on top. Two levels of play for all ages to enjoy. Fun way to develop thinking skills. For 2 to 4 players. Includes game board, 64 foam chips and instruction guide. From 6 years to Adult (K, V)
