Lamb Book For Piper
This year, Christmas is extra sweet since we have Piper Grace in our family now! Our 12 Days of Christmas for 2018 will focus on all the sweet things that surround this wonderful holiday that celebrates the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ. Tonight we will travel afar (all the way to Provo!) to visit another babe wrapped in swaddling clothes and give her a gift that may start a sweet tradition in her family.

Giving Machine Experience
“Sweet is the work, my God, my King, to praise thy name, give thanks and sing, to show that love by morning light, and talk of all thy truths at night.”
Let us be true disciples of our Lord by participating in His work and glory. Tonight, we will provide sweet service in a unique, simple and meaningful way. We will go to one of only five locations around the world, the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and make a donation at the Giving Machine found there. We can choose to provide somebody with education materials, clean water, a milking goat, healthcare, better nutrition, etc.

A Nativity for Emma
“Away in a manger, no crib for his bed, the little Lord Jesus laid down his sweet head; the stars in the heavens looked down where he lay, the little Lord Jesus, asleep on the hay.” Nativities are sweet visuals for us to look at so we can be reminded of that holy night in Bethlehem. Here is a nativity made in Cambodia, picked especially for Emma.

Grandma Wright’s Toffee & Recipe
A sweet tradition! Eating a bite of this toffee is a must each Christmas. Grandma is a pro at making it, but each of us can learn to make it by following her simple instructions.
2 sticks butter, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 cup water, 1/2 cup chopped almonds
Cook on medium high in a 2 qt saucepan stirring constantly until it smokes & turns tan in color. About 6 mins of rapid boil. Pour onto a buttered cookie sheet and spread around. Sprinkle on and spread chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. If using a candy thermometer, cook until it reaches 300 degrees, or the hard crack stage. After it cools and hardens, break into bite sized pieces.

“A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down…in the most delightful way!” Seeing a movie together is much anticipated at this time of year. And Mary Poppins is as sweet as they come! Let’s go!

Pancake Party at Grandpa’s House
Saweeeeeeet! Who doesn’t love pancakes at Christmastime, and who doesn’t love them made by Grandpa? This afternoon, we will head up to Syracuse and have a pancake party with cousins and grandparents. Being with family helps us to draw closer to each other and to our Savior.

“Oh sweet the joy this sentence gives: I know that my Redeemer lives!”
