A retrospective . . . December

IMG_6938

Please don’t get confused (or laugh too hard) by seeing a Christmas tree at the end of February. I’m still catching up. Here are a few of the highlights from December. I will have a dedicated Christmas & New Year’s Eve post. So – fair warning not to get confused. Again . . . please ignore these if you are “so over” Christmas & looking forward to spring.
**I promise . . . these “delayed” posts will be completed by Alexa’s 3rd birthday in March!

MICHAEL W. SMITH CHRISTMAS CONCERT
Even in February, you don’t think I would forget our time with Michael!? This was the first year for Rylen & Chris to join us. (My selfless Dad volunteered to watch Alexa so Chris & I could both go.) I look forward to this concert every year. As always, an unforgettable evening.

TBC WOMEN’S CHRISTMAS TEA

Every year our church’s women’s ministry puts on a Christmas tea, and I always enjoy hosting a table. It’s a perfect excuse to get more use out of the Christmas dishes given to us by Chris’ Aunt Kay & Uncle Jim. I especially love the chance to get to know the women at our church more intimately.

DECKING THE HALLS
Decorating is one of my favorite things to do during the holidays. Alexa put the crowing achievement, a Simpich angel, on our little Christmas tree. I have aspirations of making an angel someday but this charming little angel definitely does the trick.

SPREADING CHEER
We always enjoy making something sweet for our neighbors. However, the joy really comes in delivering the goodies. This year, we made peppermint fudge. We are always praying for that open door to establish trust & share the Gospel.

THE SINGING CHRISTMAS TREE

Gotta end with Alexa working her “cheesy” face with the cousins at Edmond First Baptist’s Singing Christmas Tree. I go for the music. Alexa goes for the “dancing” lights.
