Christmas Time is Coming

The winner of "Overlapping Stars" pattern was Kathy from Arizona.  And the Winner of "Desert Rose" was Denise from  Utah. Thanks everyone who joined in on the fun of entering the giveaways.

Melissa, Rebecca and I spent some time making Christmas candy and cookies.

The young adults had there Christmas supper at our house.
 

They played two games for entertainment.  One was called "salad bowl".  Everyone wrote several things down on pieces of paper.  Then there were three rounds.  On the first round, the person had to describe it.  On the second round, the person had to describe it, using only two words, and on the third round, the person had to act it out.  

They also had a Rock-Paper-Scissors tournament.

First they drew names.



 Then they lined up the tournament brackets.

Then the excitement started. 

 This was the last round and Rick was the winner.

I baked 10 pies for a fundraiser for Pedro Sandoval. Don't get to impressed, all I had to do is pour the filling in the pies, lay a crust on top and bake.
