Greetings!
Here are some pictures we have taken over the course of this month.I hope you enjoy them.

Our Recital!

























Matt Decorating!






























John(our pastor's oldest son) and Johanna were married the beginning of this month. It was a very sweet wedding.






















Becka and Me:)





















And last but not least a favorite Christmas cookie recipe!

Dusties:

1 cup butter
1/3 cup sugar
2 tsp. water
2 tsp vanilla
2 cups flour (I used fresh ground whole wheat and it worked fine.)
1 cup pecans

Cream butter and sugar, add water and vanilla. Mix well. Add flour and pecans. Chill 3 or 4 hours. Shape into balls. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet on 325 for about 20 minutes. Cool slightly. Roll in powdered sugar. Makes 5 dozen (We didn't get that many out of it, maybe ours were bigger.)

This is my fist time to your blog. I found it through the comment that you left with my older sister, Teresa. Those were nice pictures.
