Today, we baked and enjoyed some special treats from our dear neighbors.  I love the tradition of baking for the neighbors for the holidays.
(The above photos are of the cookies my neighbor baked.  She made 6 different kinds from all over the world!  What a treat!)

We just can't get enough of all the beautiful lights this year!  Driving around after bedtime in our jammies to look at all the lights has become a nightly tradition.
