Busy Weekend

We hosted a reception for our new members on Sunday.

20 new members.

Jean, Joe, Dave and Me.

This punch was delicious.

Chocolate, peanut butter acorns.

They were gone in a snap.


Pastor Finck.

The kids at our church love to help.

Twins - Emma and Ethan, they are a year older than the twins.  Very sweet.

We went to see Aidan play football.

No helmets or padding.  They pull the red tags off to "tackle".

Our Christmas present this year is a week with the twins in Disney World!!!  I am so excited.  We are meeting in Knoxville, TN on the 17th, will be in Florida until Christmas Eve.  Then heading back to Knoxville and spending Christmas with Amy and Paul.  I have been busy sewing:

I was going to make some princess outfits for Meg but found these instead.  Her favorite is "Little Mermaid".

Alex is into Star Wars, so I embroidered him a few T Shirts.




I've almost finished the sweater for Meighan.  Alex blue sweater is done.


I have been watching movies from our library while I sew.  I love this British series.

I am having trouble with our fridge.  See the big icicles - the freezor goes warm and things in the fridge freeze.  Sure hope Sears can get out this week.

Enjoyed a new wine while making and eating this:

Shrimp soup - Yum!

Made from this book.


Peanut Butter cookies for Dave, his favorite.



 Just finished this book, very good ---



House in Florida, fifteen minutes from Disney and a heated pool.
