I'm Dreaming of A White Christmas (said in a deep manly tone!) Ha ha

Friday morning my sister Sara came and we baked cookies. It was so much fun! We made scotcheroo's, peanut clusters, chocolate covered pretzels (dark and white), those peanut butter cookies with a chocolate kiss on top, and Reese's peanut butter cups. Yum, yum, yum! We're planning on taking them to Christmas Eve at my parents house. We've been doing pretty good at staying out of them and just eating the defects if we need a chocolate/sugar fix.

I so enjoy when my sisters come up and visit. Sometimes it's a bit hectic when everyone is around at my parents house, but when it's just a few of us we always have some good talks. With several interruptions from Landen, of course. He's quite the entertainer and is always around for a good laugh. Sara got in trouble by him for touching Amelia's head - she has a soft spot, duh - and he let her know it. =) That was our fun on Friday.

Yesterday we went to Wal-mart to get the basic things we needed to take for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day that I had forgotten or was just told we needed to bring. What is it with people waiting until the weekend before Christmas to get their Christmas shopping done? Not the food, the presents - ahh! I seriously would freak out on someone. I'd just grab whatever I saw and get out of there as fast as I could. I was just trying to get through the aisles to get food, without hitting someone while pushing a lop sided, defective cart. How do I always manage to get those carts? And why wouldn't my husband trade me? Yes, we now have to take two carts.. lol! I have Amelia and the cart with the stuff we actually need, Kurt has Landen and the cart with the things we don't really need. Oh.. how things change once you have children!

Now I shall go and finish the laundry, make a peppermint pie, iron clothes for tomorrow, get things around for tomorrow (all the junk we have to take with us), and try to load presents up so Kurt can't take sneaks at his gifts and figure out what they are. =) If I'm not on here again before Christmas. Have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!
