Christmas 2010 - Part 2

David took last week off of work and we so enjoyed the family time.

We built a gingerbread train

We went to go see Santa at Bass Pro.

We put out cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer

We made cookies.

We cooked up some red and green pancakes for Jesus' Birthday.

We were in Christmas Plays at school and at church.







Oh, and welcome to Baby Boy's obsession with chapstick. We put some Rudolph lip balm in his stocking, and oh the joy.


The kids got Christmas Stockings bigger than their bodies from their Aunt and Uncle.

They got crazy glasses.

Little Girl become a veterinary doctor

So many blessings came about on this Christmas weekend.





And my favorite pic of Christmas morning was of my 2 reindeer.


There's the very quick recap of our Christmas week.

I will be posting lots of recipes over the next few weeks, so get your tastebuds ready. I am also itching to do something with my kitchen because it is boring me to tears, so you may be called upon to say "Yes - we love it, or No, Kara, please don't" when it comes to some decorating decisions. Be ready. :-)

For today, go see the recipe for my mom's beef stew over at The Recipe Box. Mmmmm-Mmmmmm!

Happy New Year to you! Tell Weight Watchers I will be back on board in a couple of weeks. They're probably expecting me anyway.
