Tis the season to be jolly...not sure how jolly I have been lately? I have been up late running all over the place trying to keep up with all the demands of the season.
I woke up with one of my stress knots in my neck and thought it would be a good decision to take the girls to Church. I'm sure you can guess that they were extra naughty (Corinne wanted to leap like a frog up to Communion).
My girls are good and I love them but it's hard to be good all of the time. That is why when we got home from Church Neal took them in the basement to play. I watched some TV, ate my lunch in solitude and got some PERSPECTIVE!! Later that afternoon the girls and I popped some popcorn and made garland with popcorn and cranberries.
I had a quick errand to run and on the way home I heard this song that brought tears to my eyes. It's true I will miss it all even the craziness... especially that.

THE TWELVE SOUPS OF CHRISTMAS
W
ow! It's been awhile since I've posted and now I pick the busiest time of the year to sit down to write something??? This was just such a fun night I had to share.
I knew I wanted to invite a few women over from town to celebrate in some Holiday Cheer. I was thinking maybe a Cookie exchange??? I really don't enjoy baking, mainly because I don't need all that added temptation(SWEET TOOTH). So I decided for the healthier route and the Soup Exchange was born.
Each guest was to bring a sample for the night and a container for each guest to bring home. I gathered all their recipes and made a recipe book as a take home favor/keepsake. We had a large group so we sampled two soups at a time in Dixie Cups. We were all doing shots... SOUP SHOTS that is:) These ladies sure know how to party!
The night was filled with yummy soup and wonderful conversation! I have soup for lunch all week and new recipes to get through the winter.
This party was just what I needed to give me a little Christmas Spirit. Thank you to all of you extraordinary women for making this a fun night!
Hope you're finding Joy during this Holiday Season and keeping your Coffee Cups full!
Happy Holidays
