Candle light service

I just love candlelight Christmas services! They are so beautiful, calming, quiet, reflective!

I had Elise sitting with me, and I got to take some pictures. Oh, these are not real candles, but battery operated ones. 

Yes, she had a dirty face, but she was just so cute!

Blessings!

School is officially done for this year!

Next week we will have Home Ec, and do our Christmas baking. Lots of yummy goodies planned!  But, I am having problems finding round pretzels, as well as, smaller bags of Hershey kisses, Rolos, and M & Ms. 

This afternoon, we went to downtown Minneapolis, to Macy's, to see their 8th floor animated display. We are now stuck in traffic. 

Here are the fellas at the entrance. 

Here they are inside. 

This is in the city center mall. 

Parking for 1 hour and 1 minute was $11!!  $9 for the first hour, $2 the next 20 minutes. I don't know why people shop there!

Blessings!

Gearing up for Christmas

We have been shopping, and trying to figure out what to get some people.  The easiest, of course, are the little people. They are usually content with just the box!  

I have been making some Christmas gifts. I'll post some photos later, as some relatives would see it in here. 

Matthew and I made Egg Nog Donuts, in the Baby Cake Donut maker, then glazed them with an egg nog glaze. YUM!!  

Here they are:

Along with my donut helper:

Blessings!
