Ho, Ho, Oh No!!

Sadly, I have been quite lax in my blogging efforts this Christmas season. This is the result of a few possibilities:

1. Sugar comatose (from all of the wonderful Christmas goodies)
2. Practices for the Christmas Cantata
3. Christmas festivities

I'll let you decide what you think is most likely, but I might have to say all of the above had some hand in it. :) Here are a couple of pictures from some of the festivities of December.

Ben was attacked by several children at a Christmas party!
He enjoyed it though. :)

Ben's buddy, Max, is sadly moving in a week or so. :(

Christmas is on the way!

Well, it is officially December and I haven't posted once! Ben was sick with a cold for about a week and I decided it would be fun to share with him. We are married after all. :) Hopefully mine goes away very quickly as we have a lot going on this weekend!

This year Ben and I are participating in our church Christmas cantata and we would love it if you watched online! It will be on Sunday, December 23rd at 6pm (our time). You can either watch it live (this would most likely require you to get up very early) or you can watch it after the fact. The cantata is entitled "Christmas at Home" by Ron and Shelly Hamilton. I will be singing a duet with Heather, another lady from our choir as part of the cantata.

Christmas decorations are up and I'm excited this year! We have so much more room in our house (vs. our last two apartments) to decorate! :) I have some pictures coming up soon on that, but need to finish a couple of details first. I'll post those soon!

I made our first Christmas candy of the season. This is big in our household and I bet it is in a lot of yours too! I made some Fantasy Fudge (one of our favorites) for a ladies fellowship at church Friday night. Then I'll start my baking for us and for our friends. What are some of your favorite Christmas goodies? I would love to hear!
