Going Away Party 2
On Monday night, we had a going away party for some church families and friends at our church. The Caswell family sang a couple of songs, and some of us kids played an orchestra arrangement of Be Thou My Vision. After that, we had snacks and fellowshiped. The kids played spoons with cards and moffia. It was a lot of fun! Unfortunately, we have no pictures because Dad was preoccupied with talking. :)
