In the spirit of jolliness, we played a game at a recent church dinner. The game, provided by our pastor Gordon Zook, was just the sort of thing I relish, particularly since it concerns two of the things I love: music and words. I want to keep a copy of this game, but do NOT want another piece of paper lying around. The solution? Put it on the blog. :)

I must have missed this meal! Looking forward to seeing the answers.
I would love to use this game soon--will you email me the answers? Thanks!
Oh, and about your Christmas newsletter---I think you are very wise and prudent to give your self a break this year---I did also the year our second child was born. Enjoy the season without stressing yourself and without guilt for not doing it all!
If you want to write up a "mock" newsletter in January to keep with all the others, that might be a good idea for your own memory's sake--just put a note with it that says, "If I had written a newsletter this year, here is what it would've said. Instead I chose to read more stories, snuggle at bedtimw more and eat more cookies with my boys!!"
Blessings,Davene!! You are a great mom!!
