christmas baking...yum!

I've spent today baking cookies and preparing for the elevate Christmas party tonight. It's been SO FUN!!! It is a lot of work, but I love that this season is one of parties and celebrating. I always have to keep in the front of my mind that it is so much more than that in case I get carried away with all the preparations and planning. As fun as the shopping and baking and family and parties are - that is not what it's all about. It's about Jesus. Period. So, tonight, we're taking a twist on the traditional Christmas party (as you can see by the advertisement we made). Bye bye materialism and busyness. Hello Jesus. Have fun today doing whatever it is you're doing to prepare for the season of Joy!
