Yummy cookies for our sailors
Every year our church bakes literally thousands of cookies to hand out to our single sailors living in the barracks. It is always a fun time for our family to bake and bake the Saturday before they are handed out. This year was extra special because the boys wanted to do the baking all by themselves. I was a little nervous about letting them fly solo but I must admit they were yummy! While we were waiting for each batch to finish we watched White Christmas together. On that following Monday some of our Navy families handed out over 500 cookie bags to the sailors. They were so thankful and pleasantly surprised to be handed free cookies and an invitation to church.
It sounds like you had a wonderful time making the cookies and a wonderful turn out from the church! I am so excited that you keep up this tradition. Lisa
We've come a long way baby! John and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary this past February. It's been a while since it was just the two of us and we have a long way to go. On the days that we don't say "What were we thinking?" we are praising God for our crazy family of 5 boys...and lets not forget the 6th boy that lives with us and has wormed his way into our hearts and lives (I'll save that story for another day).I am so blessed to have the Lord in my life. He shows Himself faithful to me everyday. I am married to a Pastor and wouldn't change a thing...I have everything I need plus 113 more things!
I am the Mother of 5 wonderful, adventurous, smart and talented boys a mother could ask for.
My journey in raising our Beagle has been another story!
Sit back and enjoy "All Things Bentley"!
