1. My new Weekly Favorite is up. Check out my sidebar.
2. The Sunday before Thanksgiving (see, I told you that this was late!), we did our annual Turkey Outreach (where we give away turkeys and meals ready to cook). This year, we gave meals to over 1500 families! Every year is incredible, but because we've got a block that Billy and I go visit anyway, we got to lead our regular team out there. It was so amazing to see our people connect with the people on the block. Sometimes, they're a bigger blessing to me than I ever am to them.
Some kids decorated the boxes. Adorable? Yes.
His name is Cash. But he might tell you today that it's Bob. And tomorrow, it's Marcus. But really, it's Cash. Who cares what his name is with eyes like those?
Unloading the turkeys. So cute... Ahem, sorry honey. Manly and Strong.
Is all of the preparation and a whole weekend of work worth it? Definitely.
(P.S. - This is not me)
3. I made my own Christmas card and saved truckloads of money. Maybe next year I'll start a little local business for the cash. Or, you know, the holiday cheer. (I will be uploading my card after I send it out. On my To-Do list.)
4. I took some pictures this weekend of a dear friend who refuses to blog, though she is hilarious and so much fun. She's pregnant (hola, baby fever) and adorable. I'll only give you one picture, because I haven't even shown her yet! I'm super glad she let me practice my photo skills on her and her hubby.
She loves Zebra. We wore Zebra shoes in her wedding. So of course, the scarf...
Alright, friends, we're almost all caught up!
LOVE the outreach you all did for Thanksgiving! My church hosted a Thanksgiving meal. It was so awesome to reach out to those around our city.
