Holiday Food

It’s a beautiful day today. We have had some snow and some very cold days the last few days. Today, the 50 degree weather feels like summer again! Ahhhhh. So, we took advantage of the nice weather to put the Christmas lights up. It was nice being outside and Courtney was having fun watching us.

We still haven’t gotten the tree up. Hopefully we will get to that soon. But it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! I got in the baking mood the other day. I baked 3 different types of cookies. Problem is that Hubby only likes 1 type which is Chocolate Chip. So if I make other cookies I have to find people to give them to so I don’t eat all of them. We took the cookies over to our friends’ house that night for dinner.

But we are getting to that time of year! All the good food starts coming out! All the dishes you don’t make any other time of the year, you make now. That is one main reason I love the holidays. It is so not good for the waste line, but it sure does taste good!

I am hosting a wrapping and craft party every Sunday between now and Christmas. I stocked up on wrapping supplies when I found good deals. So, I invited all my friends to come over and wrap gifts or work on crafts they are trying to get done. It should be fun and motivate me to finish the last few craft projects I have hanging out there.

Other than that, things around here have been pretty quiet. My mom and I spent some time yesterday Christmas shopping. Other than that, we have spent the last 5 days staying inside and warm, and eating! It has been a nice little vacation from work.

Our Thanksgiving Day leftovers are almost gone. We have been eating them pretty regularly. We had some very yummy leftovers, I will be sad when they are no more.

Well, this is a short post for once, but we really haven’t been doing much. I hope all of you are also having a great start to the Holiday Season!
