Since I started working at the grocery store in August Christmas really seemed to come early!!!!! The store put up Christmas displays before Halloween came, so I was seeing all kinds of Christmas decorations and listening to Christmas music much earlier than I usually do and I loved it!!!!!! Though we didn’t decorate our house until the first week of December and we didn’t make chocolates until the second Saturday in December!!!! Life sure gets busy, fast!!!! But it’s a good busy!!!!
I had a great time making chocolates with the Puzey girls!! We missed Myrna and her stamina when it came to getting it all done in record time, but we did good, had a late night Friday but finished early on Saturday!!!!
The kids decorated gingerbread houses and sugar cookies, our usual traditions!!!! They sure had fun and by the looks of the mess did a great job!!!!!!
Our Ward Christmas party was exceptional as always!!!! Mom and Mark and Owen came and well as my Dad!!!! I always love having them come and celebrate with us!!!! I had to work during the day of the party and a little old lady and her friend had overheard me talking to a lady from our Ward about the party!! She asked when and where it was and if she could come! I told her of course she could it was open to anyone!!! Well to my surprise they did come and even stayed for the program!! She told me she loved every minute especially the kids doing the nativity!!! You never know what kind of imprint you make on others, I’m glad we made a good impression on her!!!!
Christmas Day was very casual for us!!! The kids were told not to wake us up until 8am and they obeyed!!!!! They were full of so much excitement and joy!!!! It didn’t take us long to open our few presents but everyone was happy!!! For dinner we had Mom and Mark and Owen and my dad over!!! We had a yummy roast beef dinner with all the trimmings!!! And chocolate dessert to finish it off!!! My mom brought ribs and they complimented the roast beautifully!!!! We had no snow but beautiful hoar frost making everything beautifully white!!!! It truly was a magical Christmas!!! Sadly I had to go to work on Boxing Day but Jared was home with the kids and they had fun lounging around!!!!!
I love the Christmas season, so much peace and magic fills the air! People are friendlier with each other and more patient with each other!!!!
Well done Amber your allmost caught up! :)
