Christmas cookies are done!

many thanks to Cose Juervo for his help!!

pics from LaSalette..
and of course I shopped.
I wish they sold shoes!

We went to LaSalette Shrine tonight. I haven't been there at night in about 5 years so it was nice to go and walk around and check out the pretty lights.
and the gift shop. A shopaholic like me loves seeing the words "gift shop" in front of her! lol I bought a few Christmas ornaments, ones a black kitty with a halo and wings that reminded me of Rambo and the other ones a silver heart outline and its got a pendant in the middle of it that says Grandma on one side and Always in my heart on the other. I also got a card with this poem on it:
Merry Christmas from Heaven

I still hear the songs
I still see the lights
I still feel your love
on cold wintery nights
~
I still share your hopes
and all of your cares
I'll even remind you
to please say your prayers
~
I just want to tell you
you still make me proud
you stand head and shoulders
above the crowd
~
Keep trying each moment
to stay in his grace
I came here before you
to help set your place
~
you don't have to be
perfect all of the time
he forgives you the slip
if you continue the climb
~
To my family and friends
please be thankful today
I'm still close beside you
in a new special way
~
I love you all dearly
now don't shed a tear
cause I'm spending my
Christmas with Jesus this year.
