Ivy Bluff Children's Christmas Program: Ando, The Shining Star

Our children truly amaze me. They did a GREAT job with our Christmas play. Our church is so beautifully decorated, I just had to add some different pictures. Enjoy!

Ladies Christmas Luncheon

We had a wonderful women's luncheon at Patch Manor in Manchester last weekend. Beautiful surroundings, great food, and presents!!

Many of the ladies enjoyed a fruit tea.....yummmm

We began our meal with a great salad....

The meal was delicious....ham, green beans, dressings, and apples

And then to top it off, an awesome chockolate or pecan dessert..
