Gift Exchange!

These are my peeps...that's what went through my mind on my way home after this very fun day of exchanging Christmas presents and cards. Actually this is a monthly occurrence - each month we exchange names - prayer partners. The idea is to pray all month for one person and then at the end, buy a small gift.

But - for Christmas we are to also give a card. And something about Christmas time made this day extra special...plus it's just fun to all be together...below is Abraham giving a Christmas card to each person!
In the corner is Samuel, then Franciscah and in front is Mary, who is smiling...
...and laughing almost all the time.
Looks like Abraham had Mary's name...
...Mary accepting his gift and then she will give to her prayer partner.
Mary opens her card from Abraham...
Samuel preparing to give out his gift...to Paul...who has left the room for a few minutes.
Esther, Francis and Priscilla...ah, looks like Priscilla has a gift for her partner...
Oh - I guess her partner is Francis!
Now it's his turn - writing his partner's name on the card...
...who was Virginiah...now she is getting her prayer partner's gift (see it on her desk?)
Paul had left and when he came back he's asking "Where's my gift? Who had my name?"
Actually it was Samuel, but we aren't telling....!
So he decided to give his gift...to Franciscah!
Then Samuel decides to 'fess up and give Paul his gift :) Ooh, pretty plate for Mary!

Opening...opening...opening!


Nice shirt...!
Francis is checking to see if Virginiah liked his present...
...I think she did!
Mary made this shirt for Abraham...handsome!
Francis, Priscilla and Peter...
Oh - and I got this really pretty scarf from Franciscah! I am truly blessed to work with this great group of people!
