Good Morning! It is overcast here again, but yesterday we had scattered rain all day, then it clear up. So I took two dgs to the Christmas Parade downtown. We had a blast! It was so much fun watching them. They are 7 and 8 yrs old and just perfect for a parade. Not to old and did not have to worry about them wandering away from me. Then I took them home to their parents and new baby brother. He is so beautiful! And a happy baby so far. But for today, I have to clean my house! Finish the Christmas tree and prepare the rest of the Christmas gifts. Like for dh. What to do for him? I have not a clue! He neither needs anything nor wants anything. That can be a problem for a gift-giver!

What are your plans for this blessing of a day? Have a merry day!

Good morning Bibi! It was cold this morning - 36 degrees. But now its almost noon and its 50 and the SUN is out! Yippee! After lunch, I need to start addressing Christmas Cards and making the cookie dough. I might make some peppermint bark and get that out of the way too. Oh and start wrapping. Whew...Can't believe Christmas is NEXT Wednesday!

Good almost afternoon. I baked cut-out cookies this morning. Boys will eat lunch in a minute and then decorate the cookies. Need to get spaghetti sauce in the crock-pot. Our town as their Winter Parade tonight but temps are going to be below zero. I took someone's shift at work tonight so I can't go now. Will see if DH takes the kids. And doing laundry. That will take up the rest of the day. Have a great Sunday!

We're in the middle of a snowstorm here and it's soooo cold! Still hasn't warmed up more than 10 degrees out there. I haven't been out to shovel yet since it's still coming down pretty good, but I'm NOT looking forward to it. We've been baking cookies (gingersnaps, Hawaiian Snowballs, toffee bars, Mexican Hot Chocolate Cookies, biscotti) and DD has been building her gingerbread house. Having a movie marathon and just trying to stay warm and ride out the storm

Good Afternoon! I'm at work til 5. So not too much longer!


After work, heading home and trying to finish up wrapping presents. Planning on watching the finale of Restaurant Express on Food Network tonight at 9. One of the ladies left (there are 3 people left!) is from a neighboring town! I'd love for her to win! Need to clean up my scrappy space since it looks like the paper factory exploded!

Hi all.

The house is all finished for the holidays. Paperwork filing is all completed. I am now able to complete my gift calendars and start on my JYC - FINALLY.

Today I ran some errands and now I'm working on calendars - just took a break.

I have to go in to work, so not much time left for me.

Good afternoon.evening ladies...

We spent the afternoon making cookies at our house. It was my mom, me, DD and my niece. We didn't get a whole lots done. We just finished frosted cutout sugar cookies, chex mix, 4 loaves of banana bread, Christmas crack and brownie bites. I think I gained 15 pounds today!! I even had some motivation and made a small pork roast with potatoes and carrots for lunch. And, a client gave me a crockpot chicken noodle soup recipe. So, we are getting ready to finish cleaning up and eat supper. Yummy!

Heading out of town to finish shopping tomorrow. And, DD has a checkup at her dentist. I am hoping for good weather!!

Hope you all had a fabulous weekend! One of you posted how you are getting a snowstorm now. I am gearing up for one. I am hoping we get one during Christmas break.
