Christmas is the Time for Baking

We did a lot of baking this year making chocolate chip, mint chip, butterscotch chip, white chocolate chip, peanut butter, gingerbread, and sugar cookies. We love making cookies and sharing them with friends and neighbors!

Katherine Still Loves Scouting

Katherine has moved to a different troop this year that is closer to home and does more things that she finds enjoyable. She has made some friends and really likes it. She has already earned 4 badges, some patches, and an award for learning the promise and law. And it's only December!

We Took the Grandkids to the Parade

We had Gena and Jaxson for the first week of December while their parents were in Boston. It was such a joy to have them with us and to get to know them better! We had a wonderful time getting started on Christmas. We made snowflakes, went to a parade, baked cookies, put up the Christmas village, looked at lights, and so many other things! Jaxson loved Rebekah and Kimberly and his new friend Dino. Gena and Katherine got along super well and enjoyed playing for hours on end.

Christmas Tree Hunt

We go to Doby's Christmas Tree Farm every year to cut down our perfect tree. This is our family on the "hunt."
