Christmas Musical, Night of Lights, and Candy Making

This past week and half has been crazy around here. Last Tuesday was Savannah's Christmas musical and it was so cute. Savannah did great and loved being on stage. She loves to entertain. Afterwords there was a little Christmas party in her classroom and I got to see all the great crafts she has been making and then Ms. Sue (her teacher) handed me a homemade Christmas card from Savannah with a key chain with her picture in it. It is so sweet! I love it so much.

I love this picture of Savannah.

Savannah and her best friends in school, Payton and Reagan.

Since Corey and I are both out of school this month we have been taking full advantage of every minute we can. We had a lot of fun making candy together. Corey loves peanut butter balls, so I found a recipe. It was very hard to make. We knew it should not have been so hard, so after talking with Corey's aunt Kim we figured out that the recipe I found was not the best one to use. The balls still turned out yummy though. A friend of mine, Paige, came over the other day and we made some more candy and brownies. She came up with chocolate covered graham crackers with Andes chocolate on top and they are so delicious! We had a great time and Savannah helped every step of the way.

A really fun thing that we did was go to Lake Lanier's Night of Lights. We new we wanted to go because Savannah has been "owing and awing" over all the neighborhood lights, so we knew she would enjoy the Night of Lights and Corey and I did too! There was a live Nativity scene with hot chocolate. Savannah loved it. Later on we roasted marshmallows over a open fire. It was so much fun.

Christmas is this week and we are so excited. We celebrated Christmas with my grandmother this past Sunday and it was fun getting together with everyone. We always have so much fun together. We will be celebrating with our other family on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. Its a busy week.

Happy Holidays!
