After dropping my mom off at work this morning, Ben, Katie and I drove out to visit with my Grandma Kate.  While Ben kept Katie occupied, Grandma taught me how to make peanut brittle. What fun! This was the first time I have ever made candy from a recipe that depended on using a thermometer.  I helped Grandma make the first batch, and then she watched while I made the second batch.  I am pleased to say I didn't mess it up.  The brittle was delicious.  Now, I just need to get myself a marble slab so that I can make it myself;) 

We left Grandma's house and met up with Josh and James, two of my friends from youth group, at a Starbucks.  It was wonderful to catch up with them.  It's been several years since we crossed paths at church.  After finishing our hot beverages, we picked up my mom from work and headed to church.  I am going to be singing Christmas Eve at church with my dad and a few church friends.  We gathered at the church tonight to go through the song a couple times.  Before we sang, we ate pizza and chocolate chip cookies for dinner.
