Christmas time is one of my favorite times of the year. Mainly because it's a "time of year", it's not just a one day holiday. It's a time of year when people become generous. They remember how to treat other human beings. We as a society seem to become more as ONE as we should be. It's a time to remember the real meaning of Christmas and the birth of a child who will grow up to follow his Father's plan and atone for all of our sins. What a wonderful TIME OF YEAR!
Christmas Happenings:
 |
| Decorating the tree. |
 |
| Making chocolate covered marshmallows with sprinkles! |
 |
| Shyla and her friend Lecia decorating cookies (they tasted great even with the mounds of frosting on top). |
 |
| The favorite activity of the season was making peanut butter balls. Thank you to someone special (DeEtte) for passing along the recipe! |
 |
| Out around the neighborhood searching for decorative houses with great lights. |
 |
| This picture and the 2 above are from the same 2 houses. They super decorate with a live Santa and photos, they take donations of food, clothing, or toys, and have lights set to music. |
 |
| Took the kids to have breakfast with Santa at Antioch Golf Course. |
 |
| After presents and breakfast at our place, we met Candy Grandma at my parents place with my brother for a delicious steak dinner. My mom doesn't like to be traditional. Can't complain about the steak though, it's awesome! I'm not sure how, but I didn't get a photo of me or Jake. Hmm, note to self for next year...DON'T FORGET :) |
