The holiday season is upon us. So come join us for a Potluck Breakfast at our next MOPS meeting as we celebrate Christmas. We will eat, read some Christmas stories, eat, share some Christmas traditions, eat, listen to some Christmas music, and eat some more. With everyone sharing a dish with the group, there will be more yummy food than you can possibly eat.
And remember, this will be our last meeting for collecting items for our bundles for Clarity - Solutions For Women. For this meeting, we will be bringing individually wrapped candies. (This will be a good way to get rid of any leftover candy you may have from Halloween.) We will be taking all of the supplies that we have collected thus far and will be assembling them into bundles during the meeting.
So come join in the festivities on Monday, December 14th from 9:00am - 11:00am as we wrap up our first semester of MOPS and celebrate our families, the friends that we have made through MOPS, and most importantly, the reason we celebrate Christmas in the first place.
Don't miss it!

Growing With Extended Family
Do you ever feel like your "family tree is suddenly a forest"? Has having children changed your relationship with your family of origin or with your in-laws? With the holiday season quickly approaching, do you ever find it hard to balance creating your own family traditions with your children and maintaining those that you have carried down with you from your own parents or from those of your in-laws?
With parents, grandparents, siblings, in-laws, aunts, uncles, cousins, and relationships through blended families, our relationships with extended family can sometimes seem challenging, but with a little work, they can often times be very rewarding. At our next meeting, we will watch an informative video about growing with extended family. We will learn how our own childhood experiences with family often shape us, both positively and negatively, and how we carry those experiences into our relationships with our own immediate family. We will also learn how we can handle any differences of opinions that we may have with our extended families. For further thought, you can read Chapter 3 of the Life on Planet Mom book.
And with the holidays quickly approaching, we will be making one or more of three fabulous gift ideas that you can give to someone in your extended family or keep for yourself. Please remember to bring your frozen juice lids with you to our next meeting for one of these projects.
In addition, for those of you looking for some fun events coming up in our community, check out the following links. http://ehcheritagecouncil.org/upcomingevents.asp.htm and http://thepac.net/
And remember, we are still collecting items for our bundles for Clarity - Solutions For Women. For this meeting, we will be bringing baby bottles. They can be either new or used. We will be assembling the bundles at our Christmas Party on December 14th. We will be assembling the bundles at our Christmas Party on December 14th.
So come join us on Monday, November 23rd from 9:00am - 11:00am in the Family Life Center of First Christian Church for some food, fun, and fellowship as we continue our quest to discover ourselves on Planet Mom. Breakfast is being provided to us by the Water care group. Hope to see you there!
