Christmas

Christmas was at Jennie and Will's this year. Our family gathered in the morning and opened our gifts and Julie's family came a little later for and afternoon dinner. Reed was sick so Cara and Rodney had to leave early. Thus, no pictures.

Jennie found some beautiful ribbon candy at  a shop in Seattle. What a fun treat!

 The table was beautifully set with a special message for each guest.

 Here's our little Braydon on his first Christmas. He has a Santa on his bum bum and his mommy made him a strawberry and banana candy cane.

 

 All these fun new gifts and I still like books the best!

 Ron made Jennie a sink for her Hobby Room.

 Walking and making noise are two of his favorite things to do!!!

 Julie and Rylie are getting a treat from the White Candy Buffet.

 "Please may I take one home for Reed?" she asks.

Of course you may!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL!!!

Christmas Baking

Making Christmas cookies is an event planned by the girls, or maybe mostly by Jodie. I think she figures out all the ingredience and then assigns people to bring them. We meet at my sister Julie's house and the mixing and baking begins.

 These are Nutmeg Cookie Logs, one of my favorites. My mom always used to make them.

 Lots of yummy Christmas cookies were made today!
