The count down until Christmas



Some years I have felt so ready for the Holiday season a least one week before Christmas.  This year was not one of them.  We sent our Christmas letter out on the 21st of December, cookie trays were not deliver until the 22nd of December and I was still wrapping gifts on the evening of the 23rd!  Oh well, it all got done in the end ;-)

This year we did a lot of our baking with Marilyn in her new kitchen.  Her kitchen was so nice with all the new appliance and the extra counter space.  Jenae & Aubree had fun getting to "help" with the process!  Toffee is a hit in our family.  I think we made a total of 8 batches along with many other treats!!!
