Egg Nog

OH EGG NOG, OH EGG NOG how lovely are your calories(even lowfat). A morning treat, lunch drink, and after dinner dessert. Surprisingly, the kids haven't poured it over their cereal. I won't give them any ideas.

All I ( Marcie) want for Chistmas is...

" Yipstick!!!!!! " HOT!

Decorating gingerbread

Decorating the gingerbread house! One of our favorite Christmas traditions, then eating it up the next day. The gum drops are always the first to go! YUMMY.

Hotcakes with Santa

The PTO at the school had a big fund raiser this past Saturday. They served pancakes, had a silent auction, and Santa stopped by to visit with all the kiddos. It was a ton of fun. Marcie wouldn't sit by Santa unless her Dad went with her, she was really studying him out, but at least there were no tears! HOHOHO!!!!

Rudolph

Rudolph stopped by the house to check up on the kiddos and make sure they are still on the Nice list! He found all is well and Santa should be able to make his stop at the Lovin house seeing that nothing happens between now and Christmas Eve ( you really never can tell these things). Hopefully the bribes for good behavior still hang in for the next few weeks! He is a cute little fella that Rudolph!

Sue

My Mom's 1/2 sister, Sue came to visit this week. It's been over 50 years since they have seen or had any contact with each other. I'm so happy that they have found each other, and have created a beautiful friendship. What a great Christmas gift!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas!

I can't believe the Christmas season is finally here?! Each year it gets more fun as the kids really get into all the holiday festivities. This year (with the idea from our good friends the Bartel's) we planned and wrote out ALL we want to do this Christmas time, and I couldn't help but feel giddy for the fun in store. 'Tis the season to be JOLLY!

Notice Jaden's painful face? He sprinkled his holiday cheer all over the house in the form of puke right after I snapped this picture. Poor kid, just trying to make his memory crazed mother happy.
