Radio City Christmas Spectacular

Last night, Mackenzie's girl scout troop went to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular in Nashville. We went last year too, and it was so much fun. I took Shelby with us this year and she absolutely loved it. I was so glad I took her, it was fun just to watch her reactions to the different shows. All of the girls had a great time. Next year, we're going to try to go see the Nashville Ballet. I can't wait for that!

This year, the troop decided to sponsor a local family and buy them some gifts for Christmas instead of having a party. So last week, we wrapped all of the gifts we got them. The family has three kids, and we got each kid two outfits apiece, and one toy type of gift. I also had them make Christmas cards from construction paper last week. Monday, the troop leader and I are going to deliver the presents to the family, and then on Tuesday, the girls are going to deliver the cards they made to the nursing home and maybe sing some carols. After that, we're done with meetings until after the new year.

Cookie sales start December 31! If anyone reading this is interested in buying some cookies from Mackenzie, let me know! We have a cookie meeting Monday for the leaders, and I've been told there are two new cookie flavors this year. A chocolate chip (sugar free), and a lemon sandwich cookie. We'll get to taste them, so I can tell you how they are. :) The troop leader, L, asked me if I'd handle all the meetings during cookie season, so I've got to start getting some plans together while I'm off school, so I won't have to worry about planning when I get back to school.

We had our leader Christmas party tonight. It was at L's house, and we had a great time. The kids all played together, and we visited and ate for a while. We just got home about an hour ago, actually. Tomorrow I've got to clean the house and, well, that's about it! The kids have school Monday, and then Tuesday is an abbreviated day. They go back on January 4th, and I start back on the 8th. I get my grades from this semester on the 21st of December, so I'll let y'all know how I did! :)
