A Weekend of Christmas
















Saturday morning Brent, Hailey and I headed to church to deliver food baskets for the holiday season. Our church delivered 515 food baskets, each with about $100.00 worth of food to our community. Brent, Hailey and I filled up two of the 515 baskets and got our names and headed out to deliver our food. The first house had what appeared to be four or five children and a grandmother. The second home had a single mom who had 9 (of her 10) children there. She was so thankful for the groceries. It was a great experience.










Later that day, the kids and I made candies for the holidays. Then we watched Fred Claus. Which was good, but especially so because I have a "thing" for Vince Vaughn.










That evening we went to the Zoo for their holiday lights display which was pretty. After the zoo, we headed to a church just outside of town that had a "Night in Bethlehem" experience which was great! They do it every year and do a fabulous job at bringing the birth of Christ to life. We will defiantly make this a holiday tradition.










Sunday was church, then making the rest of our candies and last night was a Christmas program and then I went to my friend Julie's house to visit with friends.






It was a great weekend.
