Riverview Women's Christmas Dinner 2021!

After having to take a year off, the Women's Ministry at church was able to hold our Christmas Dinner on Friday, December 3rd 2021. 

Mom & I decided to decorate a table together again. At the last Christmas Dinner in 2019, we used my mom's cabin, but we figured it had been so long no one would remember so we'd just reuse that same theme. 

The church was providing all the dishes so we just had to bring the decorations, tablecloth and napkins. 

We did decided to use chargers to jazz it up a bit. We also were in charge of bringing a gift for each of our guests. Since we used the cabin I thought it would be fun for each lady to go home with some sort of house of their own. I couldn't find enough of one kind so we alternated between a church or a gingerbread house they both were battery powered and lite up and the church played music. 

Mom and I with our table. We were the last table to get to decorate since we didn't have time to get to the church earlier in the day. I knew we would be at the last table available which would probably not have the nicest view, but in fact we got the table I really wanted. Right in the middle in the very back! 

Every year Pa always decorates the cabin for Christmas. I love the little details, Christmas lights on the house, Christmas tree in the window, wreath on the door, a sled, snowman and even a nativity scene on the front lawn. 

People loved coming over and looking in the house. It really is amazing and Dad always gets lots of compliments! 

The food was amazing and made in house by some wonderful volunteers! What a blessing! 

I love singing Christmas Carols! Prior to the start of the event while ladies are just arriving we have a wonderful lady from our church who plays the harp...it's always one of my favorite parts of the evening! 

Here was the ladies that sat at our table... MJ, Melody, Ga-Ga, Me & Christina. 

All the while us ladies were eating, singing and listening to a wonderful speaker our kids were upstairs with a few of the Dad's having the time of their lives. Such a great blessing to everyone! So happy this event is back!
