Five Things Friday on Christmas Eve Eve

Merry Christmas Eve Eve...we have been baking and wrapping and shopping and talking. Always lots of talking with Daughter2 in the house which makes my heart so happy. Tonite Daughter1 joins the party and my little family will be complete.

The weather has been ridiculously warm and un-December like around here. I'm not complaining, just reporting the facts. Its supposed to turn colder tomorrow, just in time for Christmas, but there's no snow in our forecast. That's okay with me since I have family that needs to get here.

Daughter2 got home a week ago and has been the queen of baking. So far she's made eight kinds of cookies...here's a peek at some of them-


Last night for dinner she fixed The Pioneer Woman's recipe for spicy lemon garlic shrimp. Let's just say it might be a little bit hard to return her to university in January.

Finally, I'm posting our Christmas card picture here, without our names of course because this is the internet. I pray you feel the peace and joy this season brings and know the love God brought to earth in the gift of his very own Son.
