Last night was the Holiday Cookie Exchange for the church. It was hosted at my moms house and we had a lot of fun! Not only was there an amazing array of wonderful, rich, holiday cookies but also a wonderful warm fire and lot of great conversation. I love get togethers and this time of year they always seem so much better. Anyone who knows me knows how much i get into the "gift giving" part of the season. I know and enjoy very much the true reason for the holiday but it has alwyas, since I can remember been something i throughly enjoy- shopping and wraping and giving something to someone that they really love. This year, with money being pretty much non existant, i have found myself, more than ever, enjoying the priceless moments, like getting together w ith friends, baking, chrismtas songs, decorating and just enjoying a good evening inside from the cold. I have always loved these things and cherished them, but I need to make them more traditions than we have in the past.
I alwyas love being at my parents this time of year as well. Ever since i went away to college i realized how there is no place like home this time of year. The house has so many great holiday memories and the tree always looks gorgeous and the fire is so cozy. Its irreplaceable. We always spend so much time baking and giving away goodies and i really miss being there for all of that.
Today, we are going to meet up with Rudy's neice who is in town coaching a debate team. I dont want to get vaughn-elise out in the cold but they have yet to meet and we need to run a few errands in town anyways.
Next week is a busy one and we will be making a trip to Iowa City for a doctors apt. This weekend though, i will enjoy the plan free time and just stay warm and cozy. Be safe!
