Oh my! Words cannot describe what my sweet little Brownie girls did for me for Christmas. When my friend Aimee dropped off her daughter and said she needed to gather all the girls together because they had something for me, little did I know.
Apparently Holly, my assistant leader, came up with the idea of making a bag for me. Each girl was given a square of fabric to take home. With help from their moms they embroidered their names on the square. My other friends, Aimee and Elaine, coordinated getting the sewing done and Aimee's mom generously offered to put it all together into the bag. Needless to say it was quite an effort from many people to pull it all together!
What a HUGE surprise! I was so touched. Not that it is hard to do but I was in tears. I just could not believe how much work went into this for me! I will treasure my Brownie Bag always. Thank you so much to all of you for so much effort and keeping such a big secret. A special thank you to Elaine for sewing with Lindy and Paige. They were so proud to have kept such a huge secret!
We followed up this big surprise with a great Christmas party. A gift exchange, cookie exchange, crafts, and we had a really special and fun party.
They even had Mackenzie do one before she moved! How neat is that!
I love having the troop number and On my honor stitched in squares.
Ornaments for the Brownies. I made them a Daisy for their Daisy year and wanted something to remember Brownie's.
Lindy and Claire led songs they learned at camp this summer.
Annabel was the first to open her gift during the Christmas gift exchange.
