Friday Story Time by Lia and My Christmas Vacation
Hi, I’m back with Friday Story Time by Lia and my Christmas Vacation. Mommy and I moved to Indiana last March to be with my Uncle Zac and I love it there. But I’ve been in South Carolina spending time with daddy, my grandma and grandpa plus Ma for the past two weeks.
Advent Wreath
Last Sunday I went to church with Ma and the Priest wanted Ma and me to light the last Advent candle. The three already lit were Joy, Hope and Peace and we lit the candle for Love. After the Mass was over Ma took my picture looking at the candles.
My New Room
I was so excited when I saw my new room that Ma decorated for me. When I left it was teal but she painted it gray and I love it with my light purple, teal and pink comforter set. Snowball was so happy to see me and he looks just like one of my stuffed animals.
Cookie Baking Time
Most of my blogging friends know I love to bake and that’s what I did a few days before Christmas with Ma and our friend Judy. I love when Judy comes over because we have fun decorating the cookies. We made my favorite Italian cookies and added different sprinkles plus gold dust! That made them so shiny. We made cookie boxes up for some of the neighbors and I took a cookie jar filled with them for grandma and grandpa on Christmas day.
So this is the beginning of my vacation, I’ll be back next week with more of my fun trip!
I am so excited about your newly redecorated room and the cookies and your visit with Ma. I love your storytelling voice, and I am eagerly looking forward to the next installment!!!
Lia says thank you Alice. I can’t get over how much she’s grown just since we last saw her in August!
Such a precious time together. Thanks for sharing the intimate side of Christmas and family!
I was so happy that Lia could spend Christmas with us Larada and she had such a great time. Lia says thank your and Happy New Year.
Lia, it’s lovely to read from you again. You taught me something new. Around here (I live in Switzerland) we don’t have name for the candles on our advent wreaths. “Peace”, “Joy”, “Hope” and “Love” are such powerful names / themes, and I love that you got to lit LOVE.
Your room looks great, and so do the cookies. Enjoy your xmas break and happy new year!
Lia says thank you Tamara. We were both excited to be asked to light the last candle and how perfect that it was the LOVE one.
I t is so nice to see you and what a perfect candle you were able to light. I love your room and seeing Snowball. Cookies sound yummy and it’s nice to see you baking again. Have a nice week and a safe trip home.
Thanks Glenda, it was quite a surprise to be asked to light the candle and what better one than LOVE. Lia says thank you and she loves her new room!
So glad that you are having fun, Lia. Those cookies look amazing. I had a friend bake Matt and I some chocolate kisses cookies. Those brought back so many memories of when my mom made these cookies for me when I was a kid.
I had a fun two weeks with ma, daddy and my grandparents Amanda. I love baking and was so glad to having Judy come over also. I love chocolate kiss cookies!
