To give and receive goodies!
Every year at this time I try to get my act together so that I can think of something to give to my neighbors, since they are always so kind and generous in their giving. I'm sure many of you have heard me mention how wonderful my neighborhood is. It's overwhelming how kind and wonderful they are! We love them all dearly, so this year I was determined to achieve my goal of giving goodies, because I have fallen short in past years.
This year I made a red velvet cake and a white cake mix and swirled them together in miniature cupcakes! It was quite pretty if I do say so myself - but the amazing thing is that we actually delivered them too!

| The generous treats we've received from our neighbors! Not all at once, but they've accumulated over this week! |
My kids and I came home one day to our 3rd or 4th goodie bag and they said incredulously, "Another one!" I reminded them how lucky we are to have such good friends and I hope that since they helped me pass ours out that they know how fun it is to give as well!
We are so blessed! While these goodies are yummy to eat, it reminds me of my many blessings I have and how thankful I am to be here. It reminds me of the good people surrounding me and how thankful I am that I get to associate with all of you! I hope that everyone will have a Merry Christmas and that you know how much we love you!
