Baby Registry
What are some things you registered for but never used? I don't want friends, family or myself buying something I may not use. Thanks!!

Melting my Heart
I am pretty much a softy, but I didn't expect to be won over so easy by being kicked repeatedly in the stomach. I sit still just waiting for the next kick I can feel. I guess the tiny little thumps on my belly makes it real to me.. I can't wait to meet you little Mercke. Clearly you are going to be a soccer player. :)

A little Christmas Cheer
I LOVE Christmas decorations... I love them so much that I have had them up since the Saturday before Thanksgiving. Here is a look at a little Christmas cheer at the Merckes!

Progressive Dinner
Our Bible study class had a progressive dinner and white elephant exchange last night. Jim and I were the first stop with appetizers.
We served ham biscuits, bbq meatballs, maple fruit dip and fruit, pepper jelly and cream cheese dip and crackers and cocktail weinies. The pepper jelly and cocktail weinies were a huge hit, so I wanted to share those recipes.
The pepper jelly was super easy and one of my favorites. It is from a Kentucky owned company called Chipotle Chicks. You can find their products at any Kentucky proud store, Liquor Barn or Doll's Market.
The cocktail weinies are really easy too. :) All you need is a package of cocktail weinies, a package of bacon and brown sugar.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Cut bacon slab into three sections. Wrap each cocktail weinie with a piece of bacon and secure with toothpick. Sprinkle brown sugar on top of each weinie. Bake for 45 minutes. Thats it! As of most of my successful recipes this one is from Our Best Bites.

Sunday Scripture
Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

A Christmas Treat
During my family's thanksgiving festivities, we traveled to Louisville to see the FREE gingerbread village at The Galt House. It was truly amazing! 19,000 pounds of icing! I was like a child. Unfortunately my pictures do not do this event justice! If you are in the area, please check out the Gingerbread Village!!
