So I'm not sure how you could cram more fun into one weekend but somehow we managed to do plenty on this one. Mauricio had finished up his schooling and was waiting for Olga and the kids to arrive from Columbia so we met him for dinner before they took off on their Christmas vacation. Loved looking at all the decorations downtown.
Saturday morning we got up early and went to Arlington Cemetery to help again with the laying of the wreaths. Kathryn went with us. We met up with the U of U Alumni group again this year.
It's a lot of fun but mostly very moving to stop, say a prayer over the person and lay a wreath down for them.
We left there and Nic and Tom headed to the Air and Space Museum and Kathryn and I came back to our place for a cup of tea before going to the small group Christmas party at Beth's house.
She had a beautiful spread, mugs for us to decorate as well as cookies & cupcakes. We played games, visited and had a blast!
Meanwhile, the guys were having a good time as well......
Sunday was volunteer appreciation day at NCC. They had the Holy Crepes truck parked behind the church where we could go order something yummy. I went with savory (veggies) but they had Nutella, chocolate and banana as well.
Inside the church offices we could sit and have hot cider or chocolate and we got to visit with a bunch of people.
We each got a gift card to Ebeneezer's and Pastor Joel and Nina also gave us and the other leaders a $25 gift card to Amazon.

THEN! Later that night, we went to the Wizards vs Jazz basketball game. We had bought tickets already because we wanted to go but then they moved the church leader party from Joel and Nina's house to the game when someone offered them his company's suite! So we went and enjoyed the company of the others in the suite, had some yummy food and got to introduce Nic to a bunch of our friends.
