The Jubilee

While visiting my folks in December in Arizona, we went to the Christian First Christmas Show which I've nicknamed "The Jubilee."  It was fun and entertaining to see how other churches celebrate the season.  We had great seats too!

Terrible shot up my nose with a double chin, but my mom looks cute so I put it in!




Acrobats on silks








Look how close the angel came right above my seat on wires!




Snow on stage!


Toys coming to life...







A choo choo train!


A blimp dropping tshirts

A circus section of the show


Camels, tigers and elephants!





Great orchestra!


Angels in the heavens


The wise men came and brought gifts

Thanksgiving

I'd better get this Nov event on here before it gets into Feb.  Then I would be very lame instead of just sorta lame.  

Here is a pic of best buy I took three days before Tday.  Crazy!



Pies from scratch?  Not me!


I cook everything double and freeze half for later holiday events

Oh yes...I did make a homemade pecan pie. It wasn't too bad.

I like to try one or two new recipes each holiday and this year I brined our turkey. I was proud of myself. 

Kids setting the table with our fancy dishes















Overall a yummy success.  I'm glad we stayed home this year although I missed the crazy fun of family too.  Maybe next year...
