The first Friday of December is the Fredericksburg Baptist Church Ornament Exchange. Some yummy food, some fabulous ornaments and a wonderful time of fellowship with good friends!
Susan hosted the party and I especially loved seeing her newly remodeled kitchen!! Loved all of the sliding trays in the pantry cabinets!
After drawing the numbers and getting started, Darla was trying to figure out which bag had the ornament she wanted. The rules of the game state that an ornament can only have 4 owners...so she was sweating!! She opened the red bag with the big lime green bow and there was the ornament she wanted!! It was "stolen" from her and then stolen again...But fortunately for her, Miss Ann took what Darla was holding thus allowing Darla to "steal" back the ornament she wanted!
In order to keep it safe for the rest of the party, Darla chose to wear it as a necklace, although I hear it has ended up on her mantle in her family room.
The three snowmen represent the Holy Trinity, according to the artist. She likes to paint things in threes.
Darla and I also discovered we shared a love of the Vince and Jenny Gill song, "Let There Be Peace on Earth".
As you journey through the Advent Season, think of your friends, remember that the best ornament for any house is good friends!

Darla kind of looks like she could be related to us; mom's third cousin on Ganny's side?
