Advent Candy Calendar

Kiddos love their Advent Calendar every year. So nice for MeMom to buy them their calendar. Don't know if this mom would be buying them a CANDY countdown...

Cemetery Visits

This year we created our wreaths and headed out to the graves. Especially hard to visit Mom Lee for the first time. Still so hard to believe!

Here we are making the wreaths to be laid out for our loved ones:

Nana and her clan

Another wonderfully successful evening! Around 100 children got an extra special Christmas this year! Around 30 police officers donated their time to allow extra smiles this Christmas season! I am so honored to participate in this activity and to share cheer with those hitting a hardship. The smiles on the children's faces is all the gift I need! Appreciative guardians accepting extra gift cards to shop for their children and a gift card to a local grocery store is enough to even make the Grinch's heart grow 2 sizes!

Organized ciaos!

Cookie Making

We started cookie making this weekend... but with the craft fair I was in and the first snow cookie making got slower... and a much longer process than usual... so even thought I'm posting all our pictures... they didn't happen all this weekend...

First Snow of winter!

I always love the first snow (actually all the snows) of winter!!! This snow fell during our cookie baking weekend... so... I didn't have as much help as usual, but that's ok... Morgan and RJ were having a blast!! Willow's first snow too! She had a blast!!

First 'craft' fair

Today I participated in my first 'craft' fair or vendor fair. It didn't go great... but at least I have one under my belt. I thought I had a rocking display, and I looked great, wearing my long lasting lipstick and kept a smile on my face throughout the day!
