Real Candy Canes!

Yes, I finally found real peppermint candy canes at the store this year!  They are delicious dipped in hot chocolate heated up on the stove.  I was thankful for this special treat during the holiday time.

4th Annual Cookie Decorating Party

 The ladies were very creative.  Some had taken painting classes before and used their skills to blend the frosting colors to create masterpieces!
 Here's our delicious peanut butter and chocolate chip reindeer cookies.
Here's another specialty for Christmas--chocolate dipped pretzels.  They were difficult to make, but a big hit.
The kids also enjoyed decorating and got to take home their cookies.
 You can see that our living room was quite full, and this is just half the group!
Playing 'Hark the Herald Angels Sing'
Our neighbor's daughter practiced all week to learn the notes of two Christmas hymns.  She was a bit nervous but the ladies sang along with us too!  How wonderful to hear them singing about our Savior.

Merry Christmas from my chicken Allisyn!


House of Humus

First, the bread...
Then we got to choose from egg and humus,
or humus topped with hot olive oil.
But the very best was humus with melted butter!  We will definitely be visiting the House of Humus again soon.

My Nativity

I got this for $2.50 at the Christmas fair.  The can is even painted like Bethlehem.  My favorite is the sheep.  Can anyone figure out what the legs were made from?

10 for creativity

I never knew Jesus could be a little block of wood. :)

Santa's Workshop

Well, we didn't sit on Santa's lap and we didn't tell him what we want so I guess we won't be getting any presents.
