MOPS Brunch

Today was our last MOPS meeting of 2009. Our steering team catered in our brunch and all I can say is "YUMMY"! We had 2 different kinds of quiche, fruit and dip, cinnamon coffee cake, little barbecue hotdogs and lots of yummy chocolate desserts and cheesecake. We also played a Christmas Trivia game. It was a very nice morning spent with some really great women.

I have come to really look forward to every other Tuesday mornings! It is so nice to spend time with other Christian women/mother's of preschoolers. MOPS stands for Mother of Preschoolers for those of you who have never heard of it. I always wanted to join when James and Hannah were little, but was not able to since I did Daycare from home and the meetings tend to be in the mornings. I joined my local MOPS the fall of 2007 when I was very pregnant with Emily. They welcomed me with open arms and hearts. =)

MOPS Pie Making Fundraiser!

My MOPS (Mothers of preschoolers) group is baking pies for a fundraiser to raise money for a milk program at a school in Sri Lanka. Several years ago they did a similar fundraiser to help raise funds to build the school. So yesterday some of us spent the morning at the church making dough and rolling out pie crusts. We rolled out about 115 crusts! I am not much of a pie baker so I was a little rusty with rolling out the dough, but it got easier as the morning progressed. We had a lot of fun. It's always great to spend time with my MOPS friends. They are a bunch of great women and I have enjoyed getting to know them all a better the past 2 years. Saturday morning another group of women from our group will be at the church putting the pies together and baking them for the sale on Sunday at FUMER(First United Methodist Church).
