The kids have been on Christmas break for a few days, and Agnes is busy counting down the days until Christmas. She is really excited this year.

All of the gifts are wrapped and under the tree. Usually I am shopping and wrapping until the very last minute, it is nice to have it all done and ready to go.

We’ve got our list made for Christmas cookies to be baked, and I’ve changed my mind again on the Christmas lunch. I was going to make a big buffet of Mexican foods, and then I thought maybe Chicken and Noodles. After Thanksgiving, I really don’t want to spend another two weeks of washing dishes. I’m going to start cooking and baking what I can today.

The boys are still snoozing, they are really enjoying the break from school. Happy Monday to you, I’m off to the kitchen.
