Can you guess what I got for Christmas?


I got new clubs and some pink golf balls! I think my mom thought it would be funny cause she knows how much I love pink! I love my clubs....too bad I won't get to use them until spring!

Christmas was good very fast! I go back to work tomorrow, I am glad Tara will be back! I can't believe that last week at this time we were sitting inside because of about 3 feet of snow and high winds! Now all the snow is practically melted....not that I am complaining. I hope that you all had a great Christmas and Santa brought you everything that you wanted...I keep thinking of that little girl at Quincy Elementary who told me (when I was dressed in my elf suit) that she wanted a pony....wonder if she got one?

Church Snow Day!

I was supposed to be in the kids Christmas Program tonight at church....but due to the weather all activities have been canceled at church. I think the program will be re-scheduled for next Sunday afternoon, but for now I am going to make some hard candy! My Grandma and my Aunt and I used to make this stuff all the time! I made some peppermint the other day and my house still smells like mint! I might try tangerine and lemon and if I am really feeling it...try the saltwater taffy too...but that doesn't always turn out for me. Happy Snow Day! Tara I am praying that this all clears up and you make your flight ok tomorrow!

Santa Claus and His Elf are Coming to Zeeland!


Tomorrow Craig and I start making the rounds as Santa and the Elf. We will be at Quincy, Lincoln, and I will be at the Bridge and maybe Creekside. It's so fun to see the little kids get all excited when they see Santa walking down the halls! Last year I made the trip out to Scott's classroom too! I guess it's just going to be and elfie sort of week! Merry Christmas!

I need your help.....

Friday night I have to go to a Christmas Party and need to bring an appetizer...my sisters are both bringing dips so I don't want to do that....any ideas?

Not much new to report....Made Chex Mix at Grandma's last week, and hooked up her new TV! We got her a new flatscreen for Christmas! The Chex Mix turned out great...just hope it lasts until we have to go to Aunt Fran's!

This week we are going to my Aunt Sharon's for a Christmas party, I have to speak at Ottawa Reformed, then we have my Grandpa coming over for dinner, and Curt Dykema's Christmas Concert Sunday night at Church! That is my favorite Christmas concert of the year!

If your not doing anything on Sunday night...come check it out!


Chex Mix

I don't know about you....but when I think of Chex Mix I think of my Grandma Jackie! She always would bring it Christmas Eve to my Aunt Fran's party. And you know what happens whenever you set a mix out...people pick out their favorites! What's your favorite in Chex Mix? Actually, our 2nd cousins would devour it before anyone would have a chance to get any! Friday I am going to Grandma's and we are making Chex Mix! We did this last year, and we made a ton of it, but it was gone before we knew it! I can't wait, see you Friday Gram!
