Cookie Crawl

December was such a great month with tons of activities throughout the month.  So much, in fact, that there were a few weeks that we had some kind of party of activity every single day.  Exhausting? Yes. But also oh so fun.  One of those fun parties we had was a "Cookie Crawl" with some of the Tuck Partner women.  Two friends organized this and held the first part at one house and then we "crawled" over to the second house to continue our festivities.  We talked, laughed, smiled for pictures, and tasted to our hearts delight.  Yum is one way to describe the evening.

Love these ladies so much!

One week later, we had another "Cookie Exchange" with the women in Lebanon Ward. I am part of the activities committe at our church, where we organize a different activity each month for the women to participate in.  It has been so much fun to get to know the women on the committe a little better, and to be involved in the organization of these activities.  We ended up having everyone bring 2 dozen cookies with them, and we had a lovely Christmas devotional by a fellow lady, listened to some beautiful Christmas music, sang more songs, and in general enjoyed the company of one another.  I left feeling uplifted and inspired to make our Christmas a little more simpler.  To focus more on the birth of Christ instead of Santa.
