Christmas Cookies

Last Saturday, Payton and I joined my sister-in-law, Mary, and some of her family for an afternoon all about Christmas cookies! We had a great time! Payton wasn't too sure about it at first, but quickly came to see how much fun it was. She wasn't ready to go home!!!

Kaitlyn found a little apron just Payton's size!

She didn't know what to think at first!

Then she got into it!

Her first little star!!!!

Uh...looks like someone was eating the dough!

Finger-lickin' good!

Her little star...all decorated (frosting by Mommy!) Except, she snuck a corner before I could get a picture!!!!

Cracked me up how serious she was about the whole "sprinkles" thing!

Thanks, Mary, for inviting us! We had a great time!!!!!

Uppercase Living...BIG SALE!

Just got an e-mail from Uppercase Living about a big 40% off sale on discontinued items. If you are interested in seeing the sale flier, please post a comment with your e-mail and I'll forward it to you. It is an extensive sale on some really, really nice expressions! Also, if you have a $50+ order, you get free shipping, so think about combining orders with friends in your area. If you order in the next few days, you should still have your expressions by Christmas! Great, great gift ideas for your family/friends...or yourself!!!!!! No pressure, here, just wanted to share the good news!

Singing Christmas Tree 2009

Tonight is the final performance of the Hobe Sound Bible Church Singing Christmas Tree 2009! Participating in the Tree requires lots of hard work for everyone involved, but it is truly rewarding when I remember how privileged I am to have even a small part in reaching thousands of people with the message of the REAL reason for celebrating CHRISTmas!

This year, I sang with the choir, Robb was the accompanist (what a huge job...and he did it SO WELL), and Payton was one of the "snow" children riding in the sleigh. Fortunately for her, her best friend, Zachary Heath, also rode in the sleigh. They were joined by two other adorable little girls. We snapped a few quick pictures last night of Payton and Zachary. These two are just too cute, in my opinion! These aren't "poses"...they really act like this most of the time when they are together!!!

Hope you are enjoying a beautiful Christmas season so far!
