The Best Gift

For anyone who knows me at all, they know my love language is gifts. I'm way more into giving gifts than receiving.
When I give a gift, it's a way to say I love you, I appreciate you, I'm thankful for you, or I just want you to feel special.
This Christmas season I've been working to teach Jax that we give others gifts to show them that we love them. We do this at Christmas time because that's when we celebrate God giving us the greatest gift of all-Jesus!
Here are a few gifts we brought to church for Jax's Sunday School teachers, John's nursery coordinator, nursery workers, & SS friends!
We love & appreciate all the people who invest in our babies!

Jax's Cho-lock-uhlate Cake

Tomorrow we're having lunch at church & we are all to bring a dish. I decided to go with a dessert since I'm a much better baker than a cook!
We recently had the yummiest cake at Thanksgiving made by Aunt Beth so I decided it was a must!
Jax LOVES to help in the kitchen & he's gotten to be a lot of help! He basically made this delicious cake!
I'm not certain of the origin of this recipe, so I'll credit Beth.

Ooey Gooey Cho-lock-uhlate Cake
(Named by Jax Dunn)
Bake 1 box of German chocolate cake mix made according to directions.
While warm, poke large holes in the cake & pour sweetened condensed milk & caramel topping over it.
Cover with cool whip.
Sprinkle Heath bar bits over the top.
Refrigerate.
Enjoy!!

(Another special thing: We made it in Dustie's Meme's star cake pan. 1-his Meme is now in Heaven & 2-D is preaching on the star part of the nativity story tomorrow!)

Ho Ho Ho! Who wouldn't go...to Branson?

I'm super behind on posting b/c we've just been having too much fun!

My Mom, Mammaw, & I recently took the boys to Branson. We just LOVE it there! There are lots of fun things to do & good shopping!

While there, we rode the Polar Express, went to the Dixie Stampede, & visited Santa!

So thankful for time with family!
