Getting Ready for Christmas

Our home is busy busy busy these days.  Josh has a four day weekend and I've been determined to use his presence in the house to his full extent.  Mainly for Bee control.  I've needed Josh to entertain Bee so that she'll keep her sticky little fingers out of the oven, the wrapping paper, the toilet, and away from electrical outlets.  Today is day 3 of 4 and these past two days I've gotten quite a bit accomplished: 2 different cookies (double batch each) baked, one waiting to be iced, baked meat buns (fleisch perishky) for our upcoming road-trip, made some christmas hot cocoa mixes, bought and wrapped presents, finally hung some pictures, organized my huge pantry, and sorted the laundry for today.  Plus, the hubby and I have spent some much needed family time with Bee. 
Good Ole Fashion Hot Cocoa
 "Do I really have to wait?"
Delicious meat buns!  Obviously we had to try them first!

Between today and tomorrow all that's left is baking some peppernuts, laundry, organizing Bee's bedroom, and buying those last few Christmas gifts.  Oh! And more family time, the most important part of these four days!
Gift opening is going to be so FUN with her!

  1. Wow, sounds like you have had super days...I love how you make stuff! Wish you lived closer and we could make stuff together. Well, you never know what might be in the future, eh? Thanks for sharing your season with us in pictures and words...helps me feel better connected, and I'm always looking for 'word' from my distance family. Love you and hope this week is a really special one for you in your new places!
