The Christmas Clean Up

December 26th, 2008

Every inch of the downstairs is covered with stuff! There are dishes to be washed, and many new items that need to find a home, quickly.

I don’t even know where to start, and there is an extra added item that has to be cleaned today too. Thade got sick 4 times last night, so there is a good 2 loads of laundry to soak and wash, and a bed that desperately needs scrubbed.

Yeah, this is going to be a very long day. Eew, what is that sound?!? Great, the cat just threw-up on the floor, one more mess to get to today. More on the fun stuff later…

Merry Christmas To All!

From our Family to Yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Christmas filled with family, fun, and plenty of homemade goodies too.

With love and big hugs, nico

Christmas Goodies

December 25th, 2008

It has been a very busy day at Nico’s kitchen. I finally made it through my Christmas Baking list.

I made Peach Pie, Chocolate Bundt Cake, Butterscotch Brownies (thanks Shaunna), and Apricot Thumbprint Cookies too.

There is even Homemade Cinnamon Rolls for breakfast tomorrow.

They are still a little warm, so I can’t glaze them just yet.

Merry Christmas everyone, and I hope that you are all having a wonderful Holiday season!

Christmas Eve

December 24th, 2008

I don’t know if Thade can wait one moment longer. Christmas is almost here, and as you’ve probably already guessed I’m so not ready.

Today will be a busy day in the kitchen for Nico. James is also planning on taking us out to lunch at a new restaurant that just opened, and I can’t wait. Today I think I’ll be baking all day, there is a Peach Pie to be made, and Vanilla Glazed Apricot Thumbprint cookies too, and a Chocolate Bundt Cake for tomorrow’s dessert, and if there is time 2 loaves of Homemade Bread. I had better get to it!
