Well. Christmas is two days away, and that means December is almost over. Where has it gone? The month has gone by in a blur -- has it been that way for anyone else??
This past Wednesday was the Christmas cantata at our Church. It was a wonderful time for everyone! Everything went off without a hitch (including Abiah and Achaia singing a small duet, and Abiah singing a solo), and we decided that just the practicing was a blast! After the program we all settled down to a yummy chili supper and gift giving around a big cedar Christmas tree.
Yesterday evening we all bundled up again and went out to two retirement homes in the area to do our program again. We were so thankful we were able to do that. We'd been praying the weather would hold! To end the evening we met up at Dairy Queen for blizzards and dipped cones (after all, ice cream is a year-round treat). We stayed so long laughing and talking that we were finally forced to leave when they were sweeping the floor to close up at 10pm.
Abs made eight batches of cinnamon rolls to supply our neighbors, our friends at the Seneca post office, and UPS man (we repay him for those awesome cheese balls his wife makes us for Christmas....). Tomorrow will mean (hopefully) a quick run to the post office for last minute arriving gifts and delivering rolls. Today we hope to get more presents wrapped.
Today while we sat around the fire with Mom reading to us we looked out the window and saw falling snow. We weren't expecting that! Maybe we will wind up with a white Christmas after all!
Merry Christmas!!
