Christmas Day

Our Christmas morning started out with filled Stockings,

you know full of girly things like warm socks, headbands, eyeshadow, candy, bath and body works soap....all those things that Santa knows girls need!

Deann got one really fun thing put in her stocking from the youth pastor.
It is a snow globe that one of the youth made and was passed around at the youth Christmas party and then decided that Deann needed because she wasn't there.
On one side it says "Jesus loves you and is watching over you and so am I" the other side as you can see is a picture of the youth pastor.
Deann loved it.

The girls also got the annual Christmas Gift from their Aunt Joyce in California.
Matching Joy bags filled with candy and santa ears.
(Joyce has always bought all 9 grand daughters the same thing ever since they were born. It use to be really cute matching outfits,(( they are a bit too old for that now though)) shirts, scarfs, purses, nail polish or something, she is really sweet and the girls look forward to opening her gift)

The best gift of all was the matching I-pod touches
they got from Dusty and I and my mom!
They love them.

I borrowed a couple of blog recipes this year for Christmas.
The first a German Pancake
(and from whom I don't know)

Melt 5 tbsp of butter in a 9 x 13, in a 450 degree oven.
then add 6 eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour and 1/2 tsp salt all mixed together.
bake until fluffy,about 15 minutes.
Add whatever toppings you would like, the possibilities are endless.
We added cinnamon and powdered sugar and covered with pan cake syrup, it was really good.
That is also a small side of bacon too.:)

Then I made a delicious pie from my Friend Christy at Between Here and Home.
Cranberry Bog Pie!
It was a hit and will make it again.

We had a relaxing day and even took a walk outside in the snow.
This has been our lawn for a month.
Lots of snow.
A real white Christmas!

Hope your Christmas was blessed.
