A few weeks ago, Nina missed an event she had waited and waited for. In AWANA, the girls in grades 3-5 can qualify to attend a Lock-In by memorizing a certain number of verses and completing a certain number of sections in their book. An hour before the lock-in, Nina got sick, resulting in her not being able to attend the lock-in that night. She was devastated. She had just thrown up all over the car and knew she was not feeling well, but she sobbed for us to let her go anyway. Obviously we didn’t, but knowing how much it upset her, I told her that we’d come up with something fun to do with friends to make up for it.
Well, last Friday was “make-up” for missing the lock-in. She invited seven friends over, and Lyla got to invite two, and we had eleven girls here for a Valentine’s party. It was wild and loud, but the girls all had a great time, and Nina appreciated the fact that this special time with friends didn’t get canceled!
The girls got to continue with some mild celebrating the next morning – donuts, of course, and a few small things, then we all enjoyed a fancy dinner cooked by Mark at home that evening. It was a nice way to spend Valentines Day!
