Miss A and Miss O were making cookies this afternoon. They put the last batch in the oven, and then disappeared. No one was around to hear the timer go off, then I was making pizza and turned the oven up from 350 to 475. Slowly each member of the family in the house says, "Um, what's that smell? Is something burning?" I opened the oven and found the girls' last batch of cookies, nice and crisp. . .yes, something was burning
Our outside lights. Ben did an awesome job.
Ben and Mr J inspect some lights that have gone out.
Our tree--I think this is its last year. I want a taller one.
This is what I am using my fishing line for this month. These replaced the pumpkins from Thanksgiving/Halloween. I have yet to find snowflakes for January. . .
Love that fishing line. . . .
It wouldn't be Christmas without the Grinch! What a classic!
Some of my amazing GNO (girls night out) group for our Christmas progressive dinner. Friends make life so sweet! I don't know what I'd do without them!
Mr J hangin' out with Grandpa.
Miss O plays her recorder in the school Christmas program. It sounded beautiful.
Miss E sings her heart out in her school Christmas program--like heavenly angels singing. Love the sights, sounds, and most of the smells of this time of year!

Lights look awesome. Kudos to Ben. And sorry about the cookies.
ReplyDeleteJen - you still need to reveal (or maybe I missed it) your secret of how you keep the fishing line attached to your ceiling. Are there hidden hooks up there I'm not seeing???
