It was a wonderful day!

Christmas Lights & Trains

Last night, we went driving around Kingwood to look at Christmas lights. The kids got all ready for bed and we were off for a fun night. Took some hot cider and a few snacks along for the ride. The best houses are in Woodstream. There are two that have trains set up. We had the best time!

Holiday Gatherings

This year I have been to a few holiday gatherings and they have been so much fun. First, my MOPS group had dinner at Joan's on my birthday. She had a wonderful Italian meal and her house was decorated beautifully for Christmas.

Tiffany had a group of us over to decorate ornaments and wine glasses. I just love crafty fun! After her party those of us that work at WLC went on to our work Christmas party.

I also went to my friend and co-worker house for a fun night. Lori served gingerbread martinis and had a few fun games. I have not laughed so much in such a long time.
Merry Christmas

Our 2010 Gingerbread House

Cookies and Carols

The kids participated in this years "Cookies and Carols" at AUMC. Every musical group at church participated in the joyous evening. Everyone was there from Santa to Frosty the Snowman. Here is a short video of their new song.

It was a very fun evening for everyone!

Gingerbread Martinis

Went to a Christmas party last night and they served Gingerbread Martinis. They were yummy. You can get one at Outback, but our host whipped up a batch in her kitchen.

Here is the recipe....
‎1 ounce Ketel One vodka
1 ounce Baileys Irish Cream liqueur
1/2 ounce Kahlúa liqueur
1/2 ounce Monin gingerbread syrup
1/2 scoop vanilla ice cream — semi-melted
...Whipped cream
Gingerbread marshmallow or cookie
Mix the first five ingredients over ice, shake well, pour into a chilled martini glass and top with a generous portion of whipped cream and a gingerbread cookie.

CHEERS!

Here are this year's school pictures.
