A festival and a party

One lovely fall night in October, we had the hosts from our community group over for a such a fun evening. We absolutely love being at Passion City Church, and we're thankful for the role our community group has played in making a big church feel small. That night our back yard held 50 fabulous new and old friends, and we loved getting to connect and reconnect as we jumped into the fall together.
*Side note: If you have a massive 19th-century oak tree in your back yard, take down your fun lights before lethal acorns start bombing the bulbs. Operation bulb replacement coming soon!

We had so much fun at Abby Jane's fall festival at school later that week. Despite the rainy weather, the girls loved getting to see what it was all about and get a little more acclimated to life in a big kid school. The twins of course think everything having to do with Abby Jane is the best thing since sliced bread, so a huge school-wide party just blew their socks off. We're thankful to be in such a sweet school with an extremely active PTA that really pours into the school- the hard work of the community is evident!

As I write this, I'm reminded of our running theme of being grateful for our community on all counts. We are certainly in a sweet season!
