COOKIES!!!

Enough said!

Every holiday we decorate cookies with Grandma

The grandkids love to do this

I'm not sure how many cookies acutally get decorated

before someone's fingers or tongue are all over them

Enjoy the pictures...

Merry Christmas!

Another Tradition...

Another tradition in our family at Christmas time is...

READING CHRISTMAS STORIES

I am an avid reader and love the Christmas stories

We read from a variety of books,

How the Grinch Stole Christmas,

The Polar Express

The Gift of the Magi

and many others

My favorite stories to read for Christmas come out of 2 very special books

These books are written from long ago and tell us about the birth of Christ.

The Book of Mormon &

The Bible

The story of Christ in these books always brings the feeling of warmth during this Christmas season.

I love to read about his birth, his life, his sacrifice, and his love for each of us.

If you haven't read the Bible or the Book of Mormon I encourage you to do so this season.

The Spirit that will enter into your heart and your home

will make this holiday season absolutely wonderful.

To each of you that read this blog, may you all find peace and joy this holiday season...

Christmas Traditions

Christmas Traditions are big in my family

and my husband and I continue to carry them on.

The next few posts will be about our traditions as a family.

Some we are starting new this year,

others we have done for our married lives.

The Tradition for today is that of seeing the

CHRISTMAS LIGHTS at TEMPLE SQUARE.

Beginning in July each year the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

starts stringing Christmas lights.

These lights are turned on

the day after Thanksgiving and remain on until the New Year.

Each tree is wrapped in hundreds of lights...

Here are some pictures from Temple Square.

If you have never been there...

IT IS WORTH THE TRIP!!
