We had such a fun play date at Sherry's this morning! Sherry's playroom will never be the same after we all left but the children had a wonderful time! It was a great time for moms to visit too! We all enjoyed delicious cookies and the children took home a new book to read from our book exchange. We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas and look forward to many more play dates in the Spring!

A very special group of ladies...
There are 13 amazing women who volunteered to serve on MOPS Steering Committee last spring for 2011-2012 MOPS. They began preparations for our year in the summer and continue to work so hard each meeting. They have shared ideas, planned events and have worked behind the scenes to make our meetings such a success. This year would not be possible without these wonderful ladies! Not only do we have an amazing Steering Committee, Sherry and I have 13 new dear friends! Tonight Judy hosted our Steering Committee in her home for our Christmas Steering Committee dinner. It was so nice to have an evening of fellowship and much laughter with these ladies. We ended our evening with an ornament exchange. BLESSED is the word that comes to mind when we think of these 13 ladies. Thank you Ann, Debra, Heather, Judy, Jordan, Jennifer, Jackie, Kathy, Melissa, Nicole, Stephanie, Suzanne and Summer.... We are so THANKFUL for your committment to serve in MOPS this year and for each of your friendships! Love you all!!

A Time for Fellowship and Favorite Holiday Goodies...
We ended our final MOPS meeting of 2011 with some fabulous fellowship and delicious holiday food! No one left this meeting hungry... We had a friendly competition for "best" holiday appetizers and desserts. Lori received the "2011 Best Appetizer Chef" for her Pesto, Sundried Tomato Pizza and Brittney was awarded "2011 Best Dessert Chef" for her Rum Cake. For those of you who were unable to attend, we have recipes from all of the yummy dishes if you would like a copy. Jennifer led us in making adorable gift tags for loved one's Christmas gifts. We also celebrated our amazing mentors and table leaders who have guided each table this fall. We look forward to a wonderful Spring with each of you! Sherry and I feel so blessed to be a part of this amazing group of women in Marvin MOPS. Merry Christmas dear friends!

It's Our Last MOPS Meeting in 2011 (12/8/11)!

I can’t believe this Thursday, December 8th at 10 a.m., we will have our LAST meeting in 2011. We have had a wonderful semester filled with great speakers, meaningful fellowship and special friendships cultivated and strengthened. So as we end the first part of our MOPS year, we look forward to sharing our Favorite Christmas desserts or appetizers and recipes, followed by a fun craft led by Jennifer Davis.
Thank you all for participating in our St. Paul’s Secret Santa Workshop toy drive! Our collection receptacles were filled to the brim at every meeting. We look forward to Ann Weismann’s update.
DON’T FORGET! The Cupcake Piggy Bank is a great place for you to empty your purse/wallet of loose/spare change! The collection will go to St. Paul’s at the end of the year. Look for it on Thursday!
