I’ll be working on Christmas day this year, and since one of my very favorite people is visiting from out of state, we decided to celebrate Christmas early.
Me and my nephew, Sincere.
A former kindergarten teacher, my sister Marge always has a fun craft idea up her sleeve. Today we made Cardinal Cookies.
With flour, sugar, eggs, peanut butter, and seeds, these tasty little energy boosters will see our feathered friends through the cold, Ohio winter 😊
I can’t wait until Marge gets pictures of them enjoying the fruits of our labor!
For us humans, what could be nicer than a spaghetti dinner with tossed salad and homemade dinner rolls?
Topped off with an ice cream sandwich snowman cake. Yummm!
After dinner we had a lot of fun stretching our brains with a Christmas trivia game before exchanging gifts.
Michael got some new coloring books and some Superhero stickers to add to his collection!
I got the most wonderful, thoughtful gifts. My ‘What An Author Needs’ Christmas Collection included coffee, candles, snacks, notepads, and even socks, lol.
Most special of all was this coffee mug, custom made with some of my book titles 😊
The calendar won’t say Christmas for another few days, but this day of family, food and fun, this day of love, has made today Christmas in my heart!
