I love this time of year, it means I get to make goodie bags for people for Christmas. And goodie bags for others= nibbling on their gifts for me! For Nelson's staff I made boxes with white chocolate Oreo balls, peanut butter fudge, and lemon poppy seed bread. Glad those are out of the house, I think each box is missing a few things due to my picking. Last night I made these AMAZING Cinnamon rolls from scratch. It is a hard and long recipe but I knew it would be worth it and they were. I made these for Nelson's Sunday School teachers. Again, I had to explain to them why there was a hole in their pan-oops! I can't resist a sweet! The famous saying, "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" went right out the window after biting into one of these rolls.

Our family Christmas picture as we head to church, I know Nelson's eye looks weird, not sure what happened.
Friday I watched the Santa Ana kids. I'm a great Aunt/Mom, bribe little children with Christmas cakes, it works!
This was at LSU when mom was here. Every year at Christmas time we love to go to the LSU bookstore and browse around. We then met up with Coy and all went out to eat. Carson loves Coy, he thinks he is hilarious!
This week (Carson) and I have been cooking and cleaning, we have the youth Christmas party here Friday night. It's a white elephant party and with teenagers it is so fun, the are terrible at the gift exchange. But we have fun every year. I make my Chicken and Sausage Gumbo, Queso, fudge, and cookies. Can't wait and have a great week!
