Aaron had some work to do in the morning, so the kids and I went over to Jimmie and Kasey’s for the third annual cookie baking and firehouse goodie delivery.
I am forever grateful for their love for my family!
We had ham, potatoes, rolls, and broccoli and stuffing. We made it so easy on ourselves and served stuffing that I froze after Thanksgiving, au gratin potatoes from a box, and sister Schubert rolls. It was great! The ham was Fricks and sooo good. Grammy and Grandpa were so fun to have here with us.

We watched the stake Christmas Eve broadcast abd I felt a pull in my heart that I wasn’t invited to be part of any of it. Growing up, my family was always part of many many community and stake events, especially during Christmas time, and always if music was involved. I miss singing and I really miss feeling like I’m in the loop on church happenings here. I am thankful wish for my kids to have the opportunity to make memories of being part of live nativities or beautiful movie productions or temple pageants or community concerts like I had. But I do think they love our simple family traditions. Aaron read to us from the Bible and the children acted out the Nativity story. I learned a song on the piano and practiced so I could play Still, Still, Still for my family Christmas Eve. It wasn’t perfect, but a challenge for me and it brought the Spirit.

Mary had quite the delivery. 😂
After we tucked the three littles into bed, we played around of Clue. Then Aaron and I sent the rest of the crowd up to bed and watched The Holiday.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
