Cookies for Christmas

Every year my Dad makes his special Christmas cookies. Last night he made Hershey Kiss peanut butter cookies. I unwrap the kisses, while he makes the cookies. This year he put peppermint kisses and chocolate. Yum!! 

Then this morning I made gingersnaps. I have never made them before, but I think they turned out okay.  They remind me of Little House on the Prairie because they used to drizzle hot molasses onto cold snow and it would harden into candy.

Joyfully in Him,

Christmas Time is Here!

Isaiah 9:6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 

Doesn't that verse send shivers down your spine?? Just think, our Lord was born more than 2,000 years ago! Wow!

I finally set up my Christmas tree in my room. I usually have a really small tree ad it looks so crammed with ornaments, you really don't want to see it. But this year, I found a bigger tree under our stairs, and I think it looks so elegant! Much better than last year. =]

Last year in December, I was at my brother-in-law's house playing some games when I saw on their table, they had a really cute nativity. I started looking at it, and decided that we could make it out of sculpey. Well,  it's been a year and I finally finished it. He helped me with Joseph, the sheep and the manger, but I did all the rest. I worked on it during my summer and Thanksgiving break, of this year.
