An ice storm came in the weekend before Christmas. Tree limbs split under the weight of the ice. Fortunately, the roads never got too bad but the ice stayed for days as the temps were below freezing.
Every December my mom's entire Oklahoma City family gathers at her house for a huge cookie exchange and dinner! It is one of our Christmas highlights! The guests are my grandparents (mom's parents), her three sisters and their families and their families (plus boyfriends), my sisters and I and our families, my sister's friend and her husband and Granny and PawPaw. The kids got all dressed up but Lily did not want to pose for a picture.
Look at all these YUMMY cookies!!!

Gramma always makes these fun mice that the kids just LOVE!
The next day we had our annual Christmas brunch at church. The girls went up to sing with daddy during the carols that he lead. It was a beautiful service and time of fellowship!

It was a wonderful as usual cookie party, even if it was cold outside, the fellowship inside made everyone feel warm and cozy. Sorry we always have to leave so early. Looking forward to hearing J.C. and the little ones sing, especially to God's glory.
