Merry Christmas

It was a wonderful Christmas season this year. Our highlights included:
Attending a Nativity display with nativities from around the world.
Making gingerbread cookies
 Each of the girls made ornaments for their friends this year. For part of the time while making these ornaments we listened to A Christmas Carol that the Mormon channel had online.
Madelyn made Peppermint ornaments and gave them to her friends in a bag with real peppermint candies.
Ashlie made these bird ornaments and gave them in a bag with a pinecone, a little bag of birdseed and instructions for making a pinecone bird feeder.
Alia crocheted these reindeer ornaments and gave them in a bag with a pouch of hot chocolate and two candy canes.
She got creative with some of these reindeer, especially the super hero one with star eyes and a cape, and the one for her piano teacher that was holding a mini piano book with Christmas songs.
A turkey dinner on our fancy china that I inherited from my Grandma.
Opening thoughtful gifts from each other.
I feel so blessed this Christmas season. We have lots of happy memories to treasure.

Wow! Those ornaments look so fun and creative! We too feel so blessed, we have had a wonderful Christmas season. The Teerlink family is a big part of the reason why we feel so blessed. Thanks for being such an awesome family!!!
