Jacob after the concert...so handsome

Went to the SportsZone and walked tow miles.  Bill had an early appt. so he didn't walk today.  Went to the dentist today and had a tooth pulled.  The crown came off and the tooth was rotted under it.   

It didn't hurt but my mouth sure felt funny from the numbness afterward.  Went to Macy's and Penney's and looked around.  Got a pair of jeans on sale for $14.00.  In the evening, Vikki and Peyton came over and rode with Bill and I to Jacob and Adam's band concert.  They did so good on their songs.  The whole concert was amazing and the music was so good.  They played a lot of songs about Jesus which was great.  Will have to add Pictures of Adam as soon as the girls send me some

12/11/18...Took Melissa to Therapy, Visited Amy (Jim's daughter) Went to our breakfast, worked on puzzle, Cleaned and emptied out desk upstairs

Melissa had to be at therapy at 8:30 so took her there and then went to breakfast.  There were 11 of us there today.  We gave Jenny a Christmas card and money.  She's a really good waitress.  Prayed with Sue on my way home.  She is depressed again, so called me for prayer.  Picked Melissa up from therapy and went to Covenant to visit Jim's daughter, Amy.  We had a burger in the cafeteria, before we went up to see her.  Melissa was at therapy 2 1/2 hours so I knew she should eat.  We went up to visit Amy.  She is in with pneumonia but the dr. said her lungs are sounding much better.  We prayed for her before we left.  I took Melissa home and then went home and cleaned the desk out upstairs.  It is way too big, so we are downsizing.  We got rid of the desk computer and are just going to have your laptop.  We haven't used that computer in years.  Rody is getting rid of all the data on it and then his company will smash it.  It's so old, it's no good anymore.  Bill and I ate dinner, and then Bob came to work on the drywall patching he's doing.  We watched Christmas with the Krank's.

12/10/18...Walked at SportsZone, Went to breakfast with the girls at Tony's, worked on puzzle, got gas for vehicles with Bill

Look who got a hair cut....Abby  She looks so cute and her face is all better now

Walked 2 miles with Bill at the SportsZone.  Went to Tony's for breakfast with Melissa and Vikki.  Sure wish my Kimmy lived closer.  I took Melissa home and got my doggie time in.  Melissa's tree looks beautiful and her house is decorated really nice.  I picked up some Christmas cards and some ingredients for Christmas cookies.  Came home and started working on a new puzzle.  Hard to stop when you get started.  Bill called and wanted me to meet him to get gas in our vehicles.  We had a dollar off each gallon so that was nice.  Made spaghetti for dinner.  We relaxed, watched a show with people singing Christmas Carols and had popcorn.

Went to church, Baked Christmas cookies with Stacie and Kody, Went to New Life's Leadership Christmas Party

Stacie and Kody 

Stacie and Kody cutting out Christmas Cookies

Kody rolling out the dough while I watched him

The first batch was made with gluten free flour.  They were so crumbly that Stacie tossed the rest of the flour

Stacie and I did a selfie....Love this precious girl

Kody decorating.  He wanted to put his own candy that he had saved on some of them

A couple of Vikki's cute gnomes she made

Went to church.  Good message and wonderful worship.  After church, we went to Bob Evans with Pat and Rich Dudek.  We had a nice visit with them.  Stacie messaged me and wanted me to come over and make Christmas Cookies with her and Kody.  We got home and Bill worked on the pillars and I headed to Stacie's.  Kody was really excited that I was there and we could make the cookies.  

We had a good time and lots of laughs while we made cookies, cut them out and baked them.  The first couple of batches were made with glucose free flour.  They didn't cut out very good and crumbled when we baked them.  Stacie threw the rest of the flour out because they were so bad.  We made a new batch with regular flour and it went much better.  Kody was a great helper and stuck with it for a long time.  Then he went in the living room to play until Stacie made the frosting.  DJ came in and asked if he wanted to go out to the shed and help him, so Kody got ready and went out.  We got all the cookies cut out and baked and then I had to leave.  Kody and Stacie decorated them later.  I got home and Vikki, Peyton and Isaac were there.  She took some amazing pictures of her gnomes on my fireplace mantle.  It was cold in the house when I got there, so I turned on the furnace until I could get the kernel burner going good again.  It burn pot needed scraping.  Got it toasty pretty fast.  I had to get ready for our Christmas Party and then visited a little with Vikki. Rody got here and he took care of our old computer upstairs for us.  What a blessing he is.  He and Isaac flew their drones for a while.  We went to our Christmas Party and had a great time.  We sat with Kristen and Grant, Jennifer and Erin, and Dennis Watkins.  We had such a nice time and the food was delicious.  Bill really liked it because it was stuff he could eat.  Not lots of cheesy things.

We came home and watched a Hallmark Movie.

We went to Isaac's basketball game at 9.  He doesn't really know the game yet so looks a little lost.  He was standing under the basket and caught the ball, threw it up and made a basket and scored 2 points for his team.  He didn't even know he made it. ha ha.  We were all so happy!  It was a very close game.  Our team had 9 points and the other team had 10 points.  Bill and I went to Home Depot after that, then he worked on Christmas lights, and on the pillars of the house.  I worked on a puzzle for a while.  It's a hard one.  We met the kids and their families at the Living Nativity.  I love this family tradition.  It is so meaningful and great way to focus on the true meaning of Christmas.  Love sitting in the church singing Christmas Carols and then going as a family with our shepherd as his family.  We walk and listen to the shepherds tell us they heard a king has been born, go through the mean Roman soldiers, Get our scrolls stamped, Walk through Bethlehem and see the camel, donkeys, goats and other animals. Then we get to the Inn and there is no room for us to stay.  The Innkeeper sent us to his stable around the corner.  As we are walking there, the shepherds come out and are excited and telling us the Savior has been born.  Then we turn the corner and there is the stable with Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus.  Very touching.  Our shepherd prayed with us at the entrance to the fellowship hall.  We had cookies and orange drink, cocoa, or coffee and had a great time visiting.  Such a fun tradition!
