Before Christmas

The weekend before Christmas Sally and Tag came to visit because Eric was down from Utah visiting his dad. Saturday night James, Brodie, and Eric had a sleep over at Brodie's where they stayed up all night playing video games and watching movies (lame, these are grown men) and Sally and Tag stayed with me. Sunday I got a sub for nursery so Sally and Tag and I could go see Joel Osteen! Except, Joel wasn't there :( I was sad. But that didn't stop all these people from hoopin and hollerin about Jesus! We just took a couple of pics, browsed the bookstore (where strangely I found the canister set I've been wanting for years), and hit up an LDS chapel in Houston-the first one James family attended when they moved here back in the '80s. Then we went to Brodie and Jennika's and had hamburgers and played games.

I then spent the next couple of evenings making all of this...

20 plates of goodies for our co-workers. NEVER AGAIN. By the time I was down I didn't want to look at another sweet. For the rest of Christmas. It was sad. But everyone loved them: red velvet cake balls, pumpkin chocolate chip cookies, and Oreo balls.
