let the festivities begin

Monday brought Christmas caroling with my former Bible study girls! :)

Tuesday, some new friends from church had me over and taught me how to make Dutch stroopwafels (or, "syrup waffles," which are thin, caramel-syrup-filled, cookie wafers). I had a great time and so enjoyed getting to know them more. :) Plus, I think we made close to 90 stroopwafels in two and a half hours! I brought home one of their irons and the recipie to try a batch on my own. :)

A big THANK YOU to my dear, dear friend, Emily for the beautiful remodel! \m/_ ♥ _\m/
