Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. Ours was great. We did a lot of baking. Here are some of the goodies we made to give away.

We also made a gingerbread house.

Our tree on Christmas morning.

Cody was so much fun this year. He loved opening the presents.

Autumn got a dresser for her American Girl dolls.
She was quite surprised!

We visited my mom on Christmas Eve.

Spent Christmas afternoon at my dad's.

My brothers and I all got together and bought my dad a GPS.

Autumn and I.

We spent Christmas evening with Patrick's brother and his wife.

Christmas Eve we went to a live nativity.
We do this every year.

I got the Willow Tree Nativity for Christmas.

As well as a flat screen tv.

Sunday afternoon we went to my Aunt's for the Straley Christmas.
Here's my dad and his girlfriend (so weird to say, but I couldn't have picked a better woman).

Me and Patrick...I can never get a good photo of us.

Our holidays were filled with lots of fun and family. I can't believe how quickly Christmas came and went. We already took down our tree and most of the other decorations. I am so glad to have our living room back to normal.
This week I am working on getting things cleaned and organized. I have a room scheduled for every day of the week. Today is the kitchen. I'm emptying out the cupboards, wiping them down, and organizing as I put things back. Lots of things are getting pitched or given away. One of my New Year's goals is to be a better cook, so I'm hoping to start the year with a clean and organized kitchen! I'll be posting my New Year's Goals soon. I want to find Bible verses to go with each one. So, what are some of your New Year's Goals?
