Beth and Bri putting together a puzzle

Here are some pics of our December happenings. We had a wonderful December chock full of practices and concerts, parties, baking, shopping and fellowships leading up to Christmas. Some of Annalise's pics are a violin recital at school, piano recital at a local church, the kidz worship time at our church. Some of the adult happenings were our huge choir production which turned out amazing and we were all worn out in a wonderful way to baking "Pittsburgh" cookies with a friend who used to live there also. we called them Pgh cookies because they reminded us of the burgh:) I also tried my hand for the first time at a red velvet cake which I got the recipe in Louisville. It was wonderful and huge (3 layers). Brianna kept her pictures on her own camera so I dont have access to some of her happenings. She took the choir pics that came out wonderful. Love this fastest month of the year :) The MOST important part of Christmas that we celebrate took place over 2000 years ago. Where God loved the people of this world so much that He gave His only son so that whoever believes in Him (Jesus)will not perish but have everlasting life! John 3:16. Remember that His name is also Immanuel-which means God with us-He will never leave us! He is with us always. He loves you.
