Checking off the list
Christmas is on the way!!!!!
O.k. the clock is ticking down and my list of things to get done is growing. Thade is out of school till the new year, and Dylan and Agnes both have colds. This is going to be one of those weeks, I hope I can get it all done and keep my sanity intact.
I still need to…..
- Call Wal-Mart and find out why my stinking pictures are delayed, and then get them a.s.a.p.!
- Finish up the gifts for the Grandmas, and wrap a few more presents
- Finalize the Christmas dinner menu, and grocery shop
- Run to the Post Office
- Take James lunch at work today and tomorrow
- E-mail the family with the details on Christmas dinner
- CLEAN THE HOUSE!!!!!!!!!! Yeah pretty much every room needs a deep clean
- Put away 7 loads of laundry, and wash 3 more
- Take out the trash
- Catch up on dishes
- Make Christmas goodies for my family
- Get to the Christmas Candle Light service at our Church on Christmas eve with my family, after that we are going to go and look at Christmas lights.
- Celebrate like crazy and get lots of hugs on Christmas day!
Time to get to it, the little ones are still sleeping in this morning.

It took 2 days and one awesome helper, but we finally got all of the Christmas Cookies finished.
Stacey-cakes and I ended up making 479 cookies! It was so much fun too, but I don’t think I want to bake cookies again for a long time.
We moved all of the cookies into the dining room to assemble the plates and trays. The kiddos had fun hanging out in the living room, and snagging a few cookies too.
Even James couldn’t resist the cookies.
We assembled 20 plates, 4 trays, and we both had a few left over for our families too. It was a blast baking Christmas cookies with my best buddy.

Finishing Up
I am wrapping up the Christmas shopping and wrapping too. I’m down to two presents that need finished and wrapped, and I’m calling it good.
We finished shopping for the boys last night, and I stayed up till midnight wrapping all of their gifts. Thade was getting a little worried that he was on the naughty list because there wasn’t any gifts under the tree. I tried to tell him, that he was on the good list, and Mommy is a little behind schedule this year. Both boys were happy to see the gifts this morning, but Dylan wanted to tear into them. He’ll have to wait just a little bit longer.

I started early this morning right after I dropped Thade off at school, and I just finished at 9:00 p.m. this evening. I have been baking cookies all day, and I’m not even close to being done.
If you counted them all up there are 295 cookies in this picture. So far I’ve finished the Wedding Cake Cookies, Thade’s Super-Awesome Double Chocolate Cookies, Candy Bar Cookies, Chocolate Oatmeal No-Bakes, and a big batch of Peanut Clusters.
Tomorrow my cookie baking buddy Stacey-cakes is coming over to help me finish up the rest of the cookie menu. We’ll be baking Snickerdoodles, and James Favorite Oatmeal cookies, and plating all of the goodies for delivery on Thursday and Friday.
I think I’m going to call it a night, and get the kitchen back in order.
