Christmas Cookie Time

Everybody loves cookies during Christmas time! Well, at least we do. Jennifer and I made a load of cookies this past weekend to have for a party with our former students. We will give more information about the party in a coming post. Not as many cookies were eaten during the party as we had expected. Don't get me wrong, the students enjoyed the cookies just as much as the next guy. Joshua enjoyed them even more if you can imagine that!

In the true spirit of Christmas (and because we didn't feel eating them all would be good for our health) we decided to share the remainder of the cookies with our Mongolian teachers and the men's group. These were all the leftover cookies. Unfortunately, a few of them did not last for long after the picture was taken.

We both took great joy in decorating the cookies. It is the small things that bring a lot of joy and bring back memories from our childhoods.

Cookies are fun and decorations are great, but we are reminded that the greatest part of the season is remembering whose birth we are celebrating. May we encourage you all to remember why you are celebrating. We wish you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
