A big thank you

to everyone who left such positive and encouraging comments on my last post about my CMK DT entry! I feel overwhelmed and blessed to have such a wonderful online community of friends!!

I always wanted to share my photos of the day for the past week with you today:


Tuesday, Dec. 2: We put up our tree and the lights in the evening.


Wed, Dec.3: Jonah, playing in the backyard after school.


Thursday, Dec. 4: Sage, helping me bake.

Friday, Dec. 5th: Again, Sage helping me bake!

Saturday: Dec. 6th: Meringue kisses.

Recipe:

4 egg whites

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

3 to 6 drops of green food colouring

non-pareils sprinkles (optional)

Beat egg whites with a mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gradually add sugar while beating. Add vanilla and food colouring.

Put in a pastry bag with a star tip. Line a cookie sheet with aluminum foil. Create mini Xmas trees by making a spiral form with the pastry bag. Sprinkle with non-pareils. Bake at 200F for 2 hours. Cool. Store in a tupperware container.

Sunday, Dec. 7: we finally decorated the tree after church.

Monday, Dec. 8: Austin and Jonah stayed home from school because they weren't feeling well.

Thanks for looking!
