Tuesday night- Every year our little neighborhood celebrates Christmas by gathering at Mrs. F’s home, singing carols then eating our hearts out, it is always a hoot.
We all visited for a while then gathered around, passed out the song sheets and all sang carols. Mrs. VB and Gracie accompanied us on the piano.
We have the sweet blessing of all our close neighbors are fellow believers in Christ, so we all celebrate Christmas rejoicing in the birth of Christ.
After the singing comes the food. I took this picture after everyone had eaten, we had a plethora of food, Mrs. F and Mrs. VB are of Dutch decent ;) and boy can they put out a spread! Hot chocolate, brewed apple cider, bars, dips, veggies, deviled eggs, cupcakes, breads, meat stuffed buns….yum.
We stayed until 10:30 then packed it up and drove a half a block home. Thank you everyone for all the memories!! We missed you Johnstons!

Wednesday – Affordable fresh green veggies are hard to find in the winter and I try to not spend over $2lb. The Green Barn had fresh brussels sprouts for sale for 1.09lb the last two weeks. Our family is weird, we looooove brussels sprouts. I told Dave(the Green Barn guy) that I was going to come back and get about 20lb to put in the freezer. He said if I bought a 25lb box I could have them for .58lb!
So we trimmed, blanched and froze 6 full ziploc bags full and I’d like to do one more box ;)

Sweet Christmas tradition of caroling with precious neighbors!
What a deal on bussel sprouts! I'll have to tell my family they love them to!
We miss you guys too and wish we could have been there. So glad you all had a good time.
