Continuing the tradition of making Christmas cards for our church’s shut-in and care center members. I made it easy on myself this year and used stickers and stamps.
The girls had some sticker fun too. We love the stickers you got us Grandmere!
I thought I would have to leave our Advent Vespers service tonight. The girls were wound up more than usual, fighting over pencils, running to the pew in front of us, pushing each other off my lap and enjoying many other forms of naughtiness.

Nothing very exciting today. Mostly just doing laundry. I did go ahead and start the cloth diapers with Gerhardt. This is about the age I prefer to start cloth diapering and the time I run out of the disposables people give us when we have a baby.
And at Gerhardt’s insistence, I started my Holiday Baking List:
MORE Gingerbread Cookies for Christmas dinner with our neighbors
Chocolate Truffles for Munday Funday sitters
Chocolate Yule Log for Christmas Day
This list may grow or shrink depending on the reality of my life but one way or another I will have more chocolate and gingerbread this month!

Gingerbread Cookies for Saint Nicholas Day! There are actually very nice St. Nicholas cookie cutters here that I’d like to get for next year. This year I had to resort to my vintage (thanks Mom!) Christmas tree cookie cutter.
I’ve never made gingerbread cookies, and I have to say they were delicious! I used this recipe.
Last night we read the story of Saint Nicholas and left our shoes outside. I’m still surprised no one woke to find switches and coal…Clara…

Tonight some of our choir members and youth went a-wassailing. Afterward we drove around town looking at some Christmas decorations and lights. We were invited inside these members’ home for more Christmas decor fun!
