December...so far...

After my last post, I feel like I owe any readers I have left a real post...so here goes...

To get started, here's some pictures from our Christmas adventures this month...

Greg attended a conference at the Opryland Hotel in Nashville,
so we took advantage of the opportunity to tag along!

I cannot imagine how it must have seemed to someone
not yet 4 ft tall...

It was beautiful and we were all overwhelmed.

We were hanging out by the fountains while waiting for Greg
to finish up at his conference and go to dinner with us.

One of the Christmas features is Gingy's house and the
opportunity to have your picture taken with him.

We decorated a Gingerbread family while there...

The Magnolia Lobby

Love these two and am blessed to experience life with them!

Some of the highlights from this month include:

  • Thanksgiving and a week with my parents visiting
  • Christmas parade and viewing decorated Christmas store windows
  • Advent Readings at Church
  • Christmas Breakfasts at Church in lieu of Sunday School
  • Opryland at Christmas (a bucket list item for me!)
  • The Polar Express in 3D
  • Caroling with our Church family
  • Christmas parties
  • Driving around to look at Christmas lights
  • Watching Christmas movies
  • Wrapping and Baking
  • The Jesse Tree
  • Reading Christmas Books
  • Making a Gingerbread family and Gingerbread Snoopy Village
And we will continue adding to the list.  Stay tuned for more updates and more pictures...

This is one of my favorite goodies to make with small children,
because they can do it almost completely on their own.

Start with pretzels, place a kiss or a hug on top...

Warm in a oven for 5-6 minutes, and then smoosh an M&M on top!

Precision is key when cutting out cookies...

We each have our own unique decorating styles.
Good Times, indeed!
