From the most recent to the last pictures I forgot to add:
12.6.11 Bible Study Christmas Party- all our bible study "sistas" got together for a Christmas party at Mom's house. It was a WONDERFUL time! Mom outdid herself with the food and our cookie swap was a huge success.

Our Sistas- I wish the picture wasn't so blown out! Pam, Sharon, Mom, Debbie, Michelle, Adelle, Melanie, Vicki, Kaye, Me, Betty, Berta, Joann, Debbie, and Judy- what a great time we have together!
12.3.11 Trip to Kansas City to see Uncle George and Aunt Linda. I spoke with Aunt Linda the Wednesday before the weekend we weren't supposed to be in Kansas City...or so Luke and I thought. Somehow, we got our weekends all mixed up. We thought we were making the trip 12.10.11 but they thought we were coming up on 12.3.11. So, in 24 hours Luke and I rearranged our schedules, he took off work, made boarding and housesitting arrangements, and we were on the road. We had a wonderful time. Uncle George and Aunt Linda are so special to us and we enjoy spending time with them. We were able to do some odd jobs around their house as well as put up their Christmas decorations. We took time to do some drive thru lights and even went to see their Christmas pageant. I brought Aunt Linda some nutmeg balls- or fresh nutmeg- Uncle George was fascinated by that. So, we made chocolate peppermint cookies...only Uncle George ROLLED his whole cookie in nutmeg. We thought sure he ruined it, but it smelled amazing cooking- and didn't taste too bad either.

11.25.11 Branson- Luke actually missed our Thanksgiving dinner in Neosho because of our friends wedding. However, I made it- but didn't take a single picture! I did get my camera out while in SDC. Mom and I took a cooking class and of course, we enjoyed all the lights together as a family.
11.19.11 Joe and Jamie's Wedding. Our friend Joe FINALLY got married!!! We weren't sure we'd ever see that day, but it happened. I have been friends with Joe since the 8th grade- sure wasn't going to miss his special day. They got married at Wildwood and the weather was perfect. Luke and I took pictures. Jamie surprised Joe by having light sabers in the bridesmaids bouquets and the groomsman had them in their pockets. When she got to the end of the aisle, the all whipped them out and she walked under them. Joe had been teasing her about a Star Wars wedding- and I guess he got what he asked for. It was a fun day!
