Christmas Luncheon Honoring our Widows

Today was our Christmas Luncheon at church. I was apart of a smiliar luncheon when I was a child and I have now begun it at our church. Andrew and Piper along with their friends sing Christmas Carols for entertainment and then we enjoy a wonderful lunch. They also help Nana do a craft then pass out the favors. There was about 150 people in attendance this year. It is a great time to spend with these beautiful people.

Christmas Cookies

We are baking cookies for our friends who are coming over to Storytime with Santa and Mrs. Claus. Andrew and Piper are very excited but they had to taste some of the cookies to be sure they were DELICIOUS:)

All I Want for Christmas...

They are making their lists!


Piper is even dressed like a princess to make her list. This is everyday attire. You have no idea!!

If you haven't heard my kids are allowed to put 3 things on their list for Santa. Yes, they will probably will receive a few more than 3 actual items but this really helps with the "I want___" sentences following every single commercial these days. Anytime they go to say they WANT something we just refer back to the list.
