The end of the year has come. Winston returned to school today, and Harris and I went to Flower Child for lunch. We went out for ice cream one night!  Very tasty! Addy sang in her school concert

They sang the songs beautifully. Frank, Harris, and I went to look at new cars because my van was on its last leg. Then, we went to Fat Mat's for lunch. It was so delicious! We gave to charity. We went to lunch with Winston, Avery, Ivy, and Addy at Lolas Taco's and Burgers. Avery, Ivy, and I went to see Mufasa. We had the neighbors for dinner, and Frank was gifted a towel rack with the skyline of Frankfurt on it. What a thoughtful gift and a cherished evening with friends. Our women's group had a special hot cocoa and cinnamon roll bar for our last meeting of the year. We were treated like queens. The devotional was on the names of Christ. We watched Christmas movies together and made tasty treats. We went to Calloway Gardens to see the Festival of Lights!  We attended the church Christmas party.  I went to the Relief Society Christmas party at Sister Woods' home. Avery and Ivy had their Christmas recital. We attended a Christmas Concert at our church, then had dinner at a Korean barbecue restaurant on Christmas Eve. This is the third year in a row that we have gone out for a Korean BBQ on Christmas. I read the scriptures from cover to cover. Harris and I went to our annual mother-son dinner at a place where they make the pasta in the cheese wheel.  So good!  As you can see, December was a full but happy month. Not pictured was the celebration of the 4th Advent at our home for Harris and Winston, where we invited their friends over for the evening. We took down the Christmas tree, and I did some housekeeping. Addy and Avery are going to a dance tonight. I wish everyone a very Happy New Year. I hope that 2025 brings nothing but happiness and joy your way.
