30 Days of Thanks #8


Day 8

Today I am thankful for my Life Group! We are a eclectic group! We are all in different ages & stages of life but I LOVE it! We meet once a month at someones house. We share a meal-the host home prepares the main dish , drinks and a small devotion and the others bring the side dishes. We have a good time just talking & eating and fellowship that the couple of hours we are together go by pretty fast! In December we do a Progressive Dinner & then we sing carols! Fun!Fun!!

Tonight we had Santa Fe Stew-YUM!!!!!! :) I made the dessert-it to was yummy & I am going to share it!

I got the cake recipe from Hungry Girl & the frosting from Skinnytaste
