Well it is already December- the year is almost over. I cannot believe it has gone by so quickly. We are in full swing for this month of worship & praise and thinking of our heavenly Father and the great anticipation of Jesus's birth. Each year we say we are going to try and do all of the Advent ideas, bake cookies & candies and relax---well I THINK this may actually happen this year. Today was Carly's last day of school (except for 1 hour next week for her mid term test in Computer Science) so we are on our way!!
I actually got Christmas pictures done this year for our card and here are a couple of pics of the girls.
I spent the day cooking with a friend and we put 11 meals in the freezer- each..It was a blast and we were finished by 2pm (we even made a salad for tonight and all the dishes were cleaned and put away---I don't even get all of that done by myself :)0 Anyway, with meals in the freezer and Carly out of school early we are going to start baking next week.... I can't wait.
We have also started our nightly Advent devotion and Carly & I are reading Bartholomew's Passage (we did Jotham's journey last year) http://www.amazon.com/Jothams-Journey-Storybook-Arnold-Ytreeide/dp/0825441749/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1222924353&sr=8-1
It is really nice to have something to do nightly to make us stop and think about what the season is really about.

Those are gorgeous pictures of the girls, Teresa! I especially love the last one of them both together.
You go girl doing all that cooking! What fun to do it with a friend. The time passes much more quickly that way, huh? Happy Baking!
Praising Him,
