Welcome to Julia Child's cooking show....NOT! This is the way I've mixed things all my life, but now I can do it an easier way..

THANKS to Harold! He gave me this red Kenmore mixer and also surprised me with an Angel that lights up

at the bottom which contains a water mixture with glitter and acts like a lava lamp. I enjoy sitting in the dark living room and watching her. Very relaxing.

Santa brought the girls a Band Hero game. They were surprised. Shortly after receiving it, the girls had us all involved in their "rock band".

Kristen laughed for the longest time..

not just because she was having lots of fun, but mostly because she thought MY playing

was hilarious due to me not being able to keep my eyes, colors and drum sticks working together...she should have been around when Harold lost control of his drumsticks and one went rolling across the floor. That's ok, I can take the laughing Kristen.

Madge and Harold take a more serious approach to most things.

We still get to laugh at them anyway. Just look at the concentration.

The girls played for an audience of family & friends.

Don't know if you can see her but Ms. Esther had the best time watching because she had never seen such as this.

After the concert, gifts were exchanged. Barbie got the biggest laugh from her pink, rabbit, footy pj's.

and Ms. Esther at her t-shirt. She had picked it out but had forgotten so the laughter was good to see again.
JoBea gave her pup, Maggie, a colorful duck looking thing, along with some other stuff.

We bought Madge's dog, Bruiser, a sweater
and Madge gave him a new leash, along with some treats.

JoBea and Madge got lots of things they loved, along with the cards containing money from their favorite "Aunt" & "Uncle", Cindy and Taco.
JoBea gave Madge a new calendar of Madge's "husband" ELVIS! With each gift she received of Elvis, Madge would come alive as if it were the only one she had gotten.

Christmas is such an awesome time of year. God shared with us His Son and His Son gave to us His life to save us from our sins. There is SOOO much to be thankful for....and I appreciate all the many blessings that has come my way, especially the family & friends God has placed in my life.

May we continue to share EVERYDAY the love and excitement that comes from Christ birth.

Have a SHARING the love of Christ day!

God bless you & yours....
