Saturday was chock full of Christmas memory making.  Baking cookies and treats for co-op teachers was first on the list.  We made little trays for each teacher with pretzel and nut bark, strawberry jam thumbprint cookies and candy bar topped shortbread.  We, um, needed to make extra batches since the first kept disappearing.  Hmm, how'd that happen?? 

My Mom and Dad came for a visit, too!  They were very good to keep Eli busy.  He loves to "help" me in the kitchen, but he has no idea that he really is no help at all!  :)

A local church hosted "A Journey to Bethlehem" this weekend.  What a wonderful experience it was, with cookies and hot chocolate to warm us afterward!  Kim, you guys and gals did a spectacular job!!  I pray many will come to know the true meaning of Christmas and be led to The One through their "journey".

Since we were already out, we finished off the night with our annual Christmas light drive.  We always start the trip in McDonald's drive-through ordering large fries for everyone.  Then, we munch and drive around town casting votes for the best decorated houses.  I believe this might be the most treasured of Christmas traditions in the eyes of my children!

Sorry for the lack of pictures.  Our camera won't take pictures in the dark anymore.  Hopefully, we'll be able to upgrade soon.
