To to sweet Beth! Baking cookies when I get home. Of course I have to share with the dog. He will keep whimpering if he doesn't get his way.

Love Ya Beth,

And that my friend is what I love about Christmas.... taking the time to stop the madness and show unconditional love. After your ordeal, I bet those cookies tasted like a million bucks and that little boy never felt sweeter to touch.

Bibby, that is the best baking I've seen. So much love.

I don't normally do this but I will make an exception

Please pray for my sister (Deanna, 26 years old) she is heading into the hospital with half of her face not moving. Not sure what is going on and it could be as simple as Bells Palsy or it could be a stroke. We just don't know. As soon as I have more information I will let you know.
Thanks Bev

Now that was comic relief! AND it was perfect so so perfect!!!!!!!!!!! He will remember decorating and it won't matter if it looked like it was from a professional or not. I still enjoy my 19 and 14 year old decorating cookies. WE did it last night -- the conversations were priceless and the cookies may be gotten a bit -- well -- only the family knows, but the memories are treasured.

Thanks for sharing. That was the perfect Blog Spot - just photos to enjoy and remind us of what is important. God's blessings.

And your little grandson really is looking like his daddy!

Merry Christmas to Mrs. Moore and the entire LPM people -- and to all of the bloggers!

Thanks everyone.

So sweet!! I think the "Holiday Baking with Bibby" turned out great. Sure does look like it. Beth, I am so glad you are going well. I had the h-surgery several years ago, so I can sympathize with what you've felt lately. I am just so thankful that you are not having to walk down the cancer road--been down there twice. May God bless your Christmas!!

You are making me hungry and you can come cook for me anytime becuase I even have a hard time with those type of cookies.

And right now I have sever shoulder problems and can't even manage that.

My PT said don't use that arm, if it hurts don't do it, ghee it hurts ALL the time so I guess I'm not even suppose to breathe! Ha!

And did you know that if you get steroid injections from your doctor it is called surgery by your insurance company! Just FYI.
Wonder if I could play that up with my boss.

Glad to see you are up to baking with that darling boy!

Dear Beth,
I got such a kick out of this post!! I am with you on this one!! I talked to someone at church yesterday that spoke of a special Christmas cookie she bakes every year that takes about 4 hours for one batch!! I didn't feel one bit bad! I thought, "Give me prepackaged, pre-cut cookies any day!!" Who really wants to spend more than 20 minutes on a batch of cookies?? I was never cut from my grandmother's mold. I used to dream of being the all-around cook and baker, but now I just look for "Will they eat it and be happy??!!"
The pictures were great!
Have a Very Merry Christmas!!

My theory:

1. If it is made in my home, then it is homemade regardless of any original packaging.

2. If store-bought dough and frosting tastes as good (or better) than what I might whip up from flour, sugar, butter, etc., then why should I waste my time mixing all those ingredients.

3. My kids don't care about the original packaging as much as they love the time spent together!

I love your model for holiday baking!

I am just awe struck at how awesome you look Beth for just having surgery 2 weeks ago. I wished I would have looked that good after my starts with H....... and rhymes a tad with tonsillectomy.......=)
Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family and may God continue to bless you all. Thank you so much for your words of inspiration and your wonderful teaching. And this blog that makes me feel so connected to others out there. Sorry I wasn't too good on my scripture memory verses here towards the end of the year. Lord willing I am going to work on it better in 2010.

Doesn't Bibby know she just had surgery for heaven's sake? How in the world is she getting down on the floor with Jackson? It hurts just to think about it! Plus, she looks like a million bucks, no pale skin, roots are perfect, lipstick on, cute clothes, etc. etc. If it were me, I'd be milking this thing in a robe and slippers for months! Maybe not that long...

P.S. If interestd, you could save a step and sratch the Pam...no need since cookies have enough butter. You didn't ask, but thought you'd find it helpful :-)

I want to take this opportunity to tell you how much you have blessed my life. When I first joined this blog a year ago, I felt lost and very alone. I have had many health issues and I haven't been able to attend church on a regular basis in a very long time. Thank you, Beth. It seems like you have poured the Lord into us. I want to thank your family for sharing you with us.

Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childish days; that can recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth; that can transport the sailor and the traveller, thousands of miles away, back to his own fire-side and his quiet home! ~Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers, 1836

It looks as if you and your grandson made a lovey batch of memories for years to come. God bless us everyone!

That is just about the sweetest thing I have seen. Bibby Beth's love for Jackson was so obvious in her tender touches to him. And I believe I could hear some lovely Christmas music playing in the background.

And may I say Go Bibby - you look so beautiful to have just had surgery - wow!

I do love the Pioneer Woman and her step-by-step pictures. Very helpful for a visual learner like me.

But this was way more PRECIOUS!
I look forward to baking times with Gran Jan...me and Zeke - we're tight like Bibby and Jackson!

Merry Christmas Moores, Joneses and Fitzpatricks.

These pictures bring back memories of me baking with my Mom. Now that I have a baby of my own, I can't wait to share the same memories with her. These little moments are what stay with a child for the rest of their life. I too will be using pre-packaged cookie dough, otherwise the memory may be more traumatic than treasured:-0

This is the best thing I've come across all day as I rush around telling myself I can get my 10-page list completed before December 25th...maybe not perfectly like Martha or Pioneer Woman!! :) Thanks for the reminder to stop & enjoy the season and love on my 2 sweet little grandsons...and by the way you look wonderful w/ your adorable little Jackson. I know you and your family are relieved that the surgery is over and you're feeling better. Looking forward to another year studying with my favorite bible teacher ~ Beth. A little bird told me that I might be getting a belated Christmas gift come January. Think it might be the Revelation study! I hope..I hope!

Dang, girl! Couldn't you look at least a little peak-ed?! I've had 3 of those "h" operations (yes, 2 partials and a "how did that golf ball grow on that little piece of tube I left?!" one) and NEVER looked that good two weeks out. You really are highly favored! SO thankful you are on this side of the surgery and that all is going well. He is GOOD and faithful! Merry Christmas!

I too baked today. Except my grandchildren were at their homes playing in the snow.
How nice to see Bibby and Jackson together. Beth you look great.
Anyway I made ‘cakies‘. Cookies from box cake mix, they are yummy. This has probably been around forever, but I just learned about them from my daughter. There was a recipe on the side of the box. Who knew?
Enjoy the cookies Jackson made, they look yummy.

You and Jackson both are glowing! How do you always look so stunning - especially while you're recuperating?!? I know it's Christ shining through you - as you shared once, He makes us more beautiful than we are!

So happy you & Jackson found a sedate way to connect & enjoy Christmas traditions together. I keep wondering how rambunctious Star is handling all this down time with her momma not operating on the same high energy level she is.
Wishing a wonderfully blessed Christmas celebration to you all!

Bibby and Jackson both look radiant-beautiful job to both of you......and the photographer.
Love to you sweet Bibby(a name I totally plan on stealing with my own grankids one day, btw :0))
Ya'' are so special to me-such a blessing.
Wanted to let you know I was planning on commiting to 1st and
15th memory verses in 2010. I bought a special calendar with a space each month for both my verses that I can see before I even get out of bed in the morning.
I really feel the Lord calling me to deeper commitment, more intimacy and more revelation than ever before. I really have an expectancy for this coming year that I cannot explain. I also plan on working through some bible studies and books that I picked up this year and never quite got around to. You are inspiring-between you and the Holy Spirit I don't stand a chance......

It doesn't have to be fancy, my friend! :) If there's one thing I have learned over the years: Love doesn't always come in fancy packages, wrapped with ribbons and bows. Even Jesus came down in the form of a simple Babe, born to peasants...:)

Hello siestas'
i have been through 5 of Beth's' studies at my home church in Washington and have followed the blog since the beginning Beth you have introduced me to my God in a new and real way i am so glad your health issues turned out good i was praying for you sweet Beth.you and your teachings have changed my life but in the past 2 weeks
my family and i have been rocked to the core.my brother ted who lives in Malibu was walking his dog
just two doors down on his road and a car struck and killed him on the 8th of Dec.we had his service on the 17th there is 4 siblings Ted was the third Iam the oldest. i have moved away from my Church family in sept to be close to my mom never did i know that this would be a blessing that i was here for her. but i am really struggling with my faith i have not found a church family here where i live now.i feel so shattered.and it's too painful to wrap my heart and mind around the fact that Ted's is gone.he was the link in our family that was the peace keeper i am asking for prayer my birthday is on the 23 rd dec and Christmas on the 25.just really struggling with the why.please keep my family in prayer
there is a lot of the enemy raising his ugly head.
thank you

Dearest Melissa,
Thank you so for sharing your mom with us! The pictures are so reassuring that your mom is recovering. It is funny that we need this.

It so reminds me of Paul wrote in Philippians, "Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; that your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again."

I know I am wierd!

I love you and cherish the work of Christ in your life,

So thrilled to see an evening of baking fa-la-la with your little man Jackson. Won't be long before Miss Annabeth will want to do pink icing and Valentine cookies with Bibby.
