Christmas is coming the goose is getting fat...

...please put a penny in the old man's hat!

We had fun Christmas preparations and activities. Following is a summary. It's long. If you're not interested just breeze on by.


We went caroling with our good friends, the Wintertons. Here we are with Dorothy Mimms, our 91 year old friend.


Lily made "popcorn world" with popcorn from our neighbors. She'd pour a ton out onto Carter's tray and they'd eat it together.


George came to visit after an interview for his medical residency. I had fun laughing with him like old times.


The temple lights were pretty. Yes, it was chilly out!


Hot chocolate and cookies with Semanee after the lights.


I did a cookie exchange with some girlfriends.


I made an army of gingerbread men. Lily said they were the army of the Israelites. She pointed out David, Goliath, and King Saul. :)

A few photos around the house. I love the feeling in the air
and around the house at Christmas time.



Aaron and I have a tradition of reading A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens aloud together.

...If you haven't got a hay' penny then God bless you!

Oh, I'm so glad your family went over to see Dorothy. She is so sweet. Savannah loves to go over there and tell her she was 'Dorothy' for Halloween one year.

Looks like you all had some great activities throughout the season
