A Great Christmas

We had a very relaxing Christmas, the perfect kind :) Christmas eve we had a friend of Brad's (from work) over for turkey dinner. His family is all about 1500 miles away and would have been spending Christmas alone - that's no fun, do we invited him over. Had a great time :)
Christmas morning we woke the boys at 7am for breakfast. They have been getting into the habit of sleeping until lunch time. Brad couldn't wait that long to unwrap presents :) As you can tell the boys are not very awake -

For Christmas I got the red mittens from Brad (and a dish washer). I've wanted the mittens for over a year now, they have been impossible to find. The room sprays are from Logan and the kitchen utensils are from Luke.


I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas. Only a few more days until 2011! Still need to come up with my "word of the year".

Merry Christmas!

I'm going to take the next few days off to Celebrate Christmas with Family and Friends.  My wish for everyone is that you have a Safe, Relaxing and Merry Christmas!

Joy to the World

Joy to the World , the Lord is come!
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven and nature sing,
And Heaven, and Heaven, and nature sing.

Joy to the World, the Savior reigns!
Let men their songs employ;
While fields and floods, rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat, the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
Nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessings flow
Far as the curse is found,
Far as the curse is found,
Far as, far as, the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
And makes the nations prove
The glories of His righteousness,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders of His love,
And wonders, wonders, of His love.

Wordless Wednesday

Rice Krispie Balls and Painted Ornaments

Every year I make goody for the students on my school bus. Usually I will try to make a treat or two, not just buy them on sale at Halloween :) I happened to be watching a Canadian cooking show - the woman is annoying - WAAAAAAAY to perky for me, but she has good recipes. Saw her making these Rice Krispie balls and thought they would be great for the kids. So this was the project for Sunday. The ones with red sprinkles where dipped in white chocolate. The other ones were first dipped in milk chocolate. Each student received on of each - that's 120 rice krispie balls!!

I also paint ornaments for the kids every year. This year I have 2 families of four children each do I found a pattern for this set of four ornaments. I've done them before to sell at craft shows, but I've never done 60 at a time. Don't think I'll paint them again for a while :)

Handed most of the little bags out yesterday - some kids where missing, hopefully they are on today.
Have an Awesome Tuesday!!
