The 13th was my birthday and my Dad took us out to see the Winter Wonderland Christmas lights display at Tilles Park. I have no pics, because it was so cold, I thought my camera might freeze!

However, Abby wasn't into making snowman ornaments. She decided to make a Minnie Mouse ornament instead.

Read Matthew 2:13-23 and Luke 2:39-40
I had also planned for us to sit by the fireplace and listen to Christmas music, but Abby and I were out all day and it was too late when we got home to do anything. We met Dave at his work to give some peppermint bark, smoked cheese, sausage and crackers to some of his work friends. We then walked the St. Louis Mills and had fun shopping!
Tomorrow Dave is off work and will be for 10 days! We have so fun things planned!
Head to Sugarplum Creations to check out Countdown to Christmas.
