How was my vacation? Let's see....
There was some stubbornness, a little moping, and "wanting to help with EVERYTHING"...AND that was just from T!!!!! =D j/k....T did a great job of letting me come in and take over her kitchen...which is hard to do for me, personally. She is a great friend!
Actually, our visit with T and Dash was wonderful!
We enjoyed a day of making Christmas cookies with all four kids. (of course, the best part was when the cookies were gone and so was the constant requests of "can we have another cookie...pleeeeeease?" LOL!
I was priviledged to make some of T's mom's famous recipes. We enjoyed a delicious brown sugar baked ham...unfortunately, the cooked pineapples met their end without any say in the matter...lol! So if you hear any squealing...it is more than likely the pineapple rings still searching for an escape! We also enjoyed roasted red potatoes and green beans w/bacon, topped off with jumbo size crescent rolls. Since all the cookies were gone, we served a choice of spice cake w/ homemade butter cream frosting or strawberry cake w/ funfetti frosting.
During Dash's reading of the Christmas Story, we experienced a quiet still teachable moment with young hearts that just thrilled my soul. This has been the BEST Christmas I have had in years.
Thank you Lord Jesus, for your gift of love and friendship!

It's been great. The kids have all had fun and thankfully played hard enough that they went to bed early enough that we had some "down time" for the moms in the evening! :)
The time with the Christmas story was awesome. It quiet and peaceful and through it we got to hear the children tell why we have Christmas. What Christmas means to them and experience a "light bulb" moment with c-man figuring out the "pieces to the puzzle" of the Christmas story!
The food was good, the company was good and yes....my mom does have the best recipes for cookies and ham! YUM YUM YUM!!!
Merry Christmas everybody!
