Shoebox Service

We went to the Operation Christmas Child shoe box service this evening at the Church of Scotland.  It was really good to see all the shoe boxes people had prepared and to see so many local groups performing a song/act etc.  13yos was helping with welcoming people and sorting shoe boxes and his youth fellowship did a really good clip at the end.  They used luminous gloves to mime to the song "Who am I".

11yod and 7yos sang with their Tuesday Bible club group...........

....... and also with their junior youth fellowship, which was a much bigger group

Today was also Save the Children charity day and our dear friend Aunty Myra bought the three children Pudsy Bear cup cakes in a local cafe and dropped them in at lunch time.  It was a lovely thing to do - we appreciate her very much.

Here are 7yos and 11yod with the cup cakes at lunch time today. This evening it was also good to have my nephew arrive for a couple of nights.  We don't see him very often and it is nice when he comes (not least because we get to pinch a little of the chinese takeaway he brings with him)  This visit was particularly exciting for the children as he brought Christmas presents from my sister ready to go under the tree.
