Thursday 27th November
Exercise classes have been happening at church this whole term. Run by one of the church girls who is an exercise physiologist (I think) they are free and fun. I regret not going earlier! I rocked up to the last one of the term and got such a good workout. I can't wait for them to start up again next year! After the workout, I went to Erin's house for a cup of tea and some mint slice biscuits (which cancelled out all the good done by the exercise!).
Friday 28th November
Youth group tonight was on heaven, and was a good recap of the term and year. I've loved being with my senior girls and I am sad that an official year of youth group has ended! Next week is the party.
Saturday 29th November
This is close enough to December! Soong and I decorated the house for Christmas today, and I got all pumped and ready for Christmas action. I really love Christmas. We went shopping for Christmas presents, we put out the decorations, and we blasted A Timeless Christmas by Israel & The New Breed. We went to Soong's grandma's house for dinner that night, for the first time in probably eight months. It's nice to know that we are always welcome!
Sunday 30th November
Church in the morning, then rushed to my mum's house for the annual Idiotsnot Christmas Kick-Off. Activities included setting up my mum's Christmas tree (and then setting up Lana & Simon's tree), building gingerbread houses (which didn't stay up due to humidity), moulding rum-balls, and tucking into a giant Christmas feast with all the trimmings. We played the classic Nat King Cole Christmas album all day. This album has been played at my family Christmas for as long as I can remember! We eventually went home, super full and with plenty of leftovers to last us for the week!
Monday 1st December
Not technically the weekend, but I thought I would include this day as well as it was our final bible study Christmas party barbecue. We finally got to use our newly concreted and furnished outdoor space, and had our bible study over for a simple dinner of sausages, chicken kebabs and salads. Super fun. We had a "regift" Secret Santa, with the rule being that you were only allowed to give a gift that had been given to you. So I managed to get rid of a tea set in exchange for a box of chocolates - win! Was really fun to celebrate the end of Bible study with our group, it has been a great year and I'm looking forward to another great year next year.
