It has been another busy December getting church Christmas Programs, Parties and Caroling on the Calander, not to mention getting all of the regular shopping, cards, treats made and having a little family fun on the side.  We just finished up basketball season for the girls.  They did a great job and played hard.  Kenya just finished 3 performances of the play called "Amahl and the Night Visitors"  It was about the wisemen and shepherds that came to see Jesus.  It was an opera, so of course Kenya was overjoyed to participate in it, and we at home enjoyed her putting her very loud, high pitched choruses to practice somewhere besides the confines of our sound restrictive walls. She was one of the shepherds.

 

 

We try to spend time in the kitchen as a family every year making some kind of treat to distribute among our friends and loved ones.  This year I found the idea of covering 3 stacked marshmellows with white chocolate, to make a snow man.  Then using butterscotch and milk chocolate to add facial features and buttons.  As usual my children's creativity outwits my in the box thinking.  I love it when that happens!  They made such beautiful creations, despite my tendencies to squelch it.

It has really started to snow here, we have had about 6 inches and snow is predicted for the next 3 days.  The kids have already been out making piles of snow for a much anticipated snow fort!  I love playing in the snow with my family.  Pictures to come soon!  I hope you are all having a wonderful Christmas season and are blessed as much as we are to know you are immensly love by a Great Big God and to be loved by so many people, who bless our sock off on a daily basis.
