Food 4 Thought Friday ~ This week's questions:

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

HO-HO-HO! 
Breakfast ~ What is your favorite part of Christmas preparation?  Least favorite?  
My favorite part is listening to Christmas music.  I just love Christmas music!  Kim and I have over 14 hours’ worth of music that we have collected and each one is very special to me.
My least favorite is actually putting up the decorations.  I LOVE having them up, but actually decorating drives me crazy.  And I don’t like trying to figure out where to put the stuff I take down to put up Christmas.

Lunch ~ What one thing would make Christmas just not Christmas for you?
To not have my family here.  To me Christmas is all about family, immediate family as well as extended.  Sometimes I dream of going away for Christmas, but would only do it if my family could come too.

Dinner ~  What is your favorite Christmas song?  Movie?  Treat?  Tradition?
Christmas Song:  I love them all!  But my favs are “Let It Be Christmas” by Alan Jackson and “Angels We Have Heard on High”. 
Movie:  White Christmas is the BEST!
Treat:  I’m not sure what the real name is, we always just call it “Christmas Crack”.   Oh – I just found it on Google!  It is called Carmel Corn Puffs.  I could eat the whole bowl!

 Tradition:  I love Christmas Eve.  Dinner and games with my sisters and families including a reading of the bible Christmas Story with the kids using stick puppets.  Often times a talent show is included.  Afterwards we head home to open one present (usually PJ’s), pose for family pics, and then just relax and enjoy the lights of the Christmas tree.

Midnight Snack ~ How do you fit in all the extra things that have to be done during the holiday season? 
I honestly have no idea!


Recipe for the Week ~ (instead of your recipe for life, what is it just for the week?)

Try make a more valiant effort to focus on the real reason for the Christmas season – Jesus Christ came to earth to make it possible for us to return and live with God again.

Haha, I love your answer to the midnight snack! I think most of us feel that way! In some ways it's like feeding the 5000! Somehow it magically gets done! lol
I love caramel puffs too! I answered your question about why do I do the calendar and poem on my comments on my blog!
Thanks for playing!

Fun Day With Bubba

Image
Today Bubba and I had a great day! First we joined Ash and Tristan for a visit to the park. Bubba and Tristan ran and rolled and climbed and had all kinds of fun! Later, Kim and I had to run to Logan, so we decided that a quick trip to Willow Park was in order. Bubba was so excited to see all of the animals there. We saw turtles, geese, swans, cranes, peacocks, and deer. We watched an owl eating his dinner. We saw a couple of young antelope fighting - I think they were really just playing! We even saw a couple of wallabies! Of course, Bubba's favorite part was feeding the ducks! He got a little nervous if one got too close, but as long as they kept their distance, he had a blast throwing food to them. I'm sure that he just about wore himself out with all of the walking and running and playing. I know that I did!

March 2021

Memories:  These vintage pictures surfaced this month.  I just love looking at old pictures remembering how things were - especially when the pictures are of loved ones who are no longer with us.  I love seeing Grandpa and Grandma surrounded by family.  They loved being with family!  This made me smile. Top:  Tasha, Grandpa Olsen, Grandma Olsen, Abby (?)

We had a marvelous time!  So much so that Kim has decided that he wants to build our ...

Our 3 Minutes of Fame

Image
Whew Whoo! "Diana Ross" and we "Supremes" performed brilliantly at our recent Stake Lip Sync. Okay, maybe we weren't quite brilliant - but at least we did it! We had anticipated a little more time to prepare and since several of the acts scheduled to perform before us neglected to show up, we were not exactly warmed up, stretched, and in sync as we would have liked to be. I have had several constructive criticisms requesting that I never dye my hair black. Karen and Janet were terrifically fun to do this with!
