What an incredible week this has been!! Last October I was asked to coordinate the annual Women's Christmas Dinner at our church-- I was thrilled and honored to serve in this way! Then... in March I found out I was pregnant... and in April, I found out it was TWINS! After lots of praying and God laying these women:
on my heart, I knew it would be crazy to organize a dinner for TWO nights with a total of over 1,000 women, but I was going to do it!
We had so much fun together... don't you LOVE the aprons I found for us?? Got them at Swoozies-- cute cute store!
Kathy modeling a balloon wreath a creative lady made for her table!
Me and my sis!
The women who "hostess" a table, decorate how they want... and it's always AMAZING!
The money they pay to buy a seat or table goes to the cost of the dinner, but also proceeds this year went to the African Women's Initiative--a ministry through ALARM to help groups of women (who many people at our church know and visit every year) start their own business in order to care for their family.
Here's a view from upstairs...
Another view... and there are many more I couldn't see from the balcony! Crazy!
Beautiful!
Love this!
So pretty...
DIVA table!
Adorable!
Love this one- it reminds me of my table I decorated last year!
Susan, me, Kathy, Robin, Bonnie, Leah (before the dinner)
Posing- to show how tired we were afterward! ha!
So tired, but so worth it! ha!
I am SO thankful for my friends and family that helped with Reese and Riley so I was able to be gone so much this week! I got ALOT done for the dinner over the summer... knowing the girls would be here closer to the dinners! My team was amazing, the food was delicious, the entertainment (variety show-- so much talent at IBC!) was to die for, the LORD is AMAZING, and I am so thankful for who he brought to the dinner to hear of our Lord Jesus Christ's sacrifice and the reason of the season! Can't wait till next year...

Oh my goodnes Amy- the place looked AMAZING! And what an equally amazing wife you are- look at your balancing twins as well as volunteering at church! :) I only wish that I could find a church that is so active as yours is.
