This year has gone by so fast.  It’s crazy.  Seriously.  Crazy.
First, I want to pat myself on the back for actually accomplishing a goal I set for myself . . . and that would be blogging every day in the month of December.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t actually that difficult.  There were only a couple of [...]

from scratch . . .

I made these puppies from scratch.  And I’m so glad we’re finally done.  The kitchen’s a mess now with all the decorating icing and candies and chocolate and coconut everywhere.  But we’re done.

The kids had a lot of fun . . . which was the whole point. I made some to give away and [...]

I made oatmeal cookies and peanut butter cookies and fudge.  And I actually mixed the dough for sugar cookies. . . but I never got around to rolling and cutting them out until tonight.  I was a little worried that they wouldn’t turn out after sitting in the coolerador for so long . . . [...]

Saturday, December 27th, 2008

I knew I was going to have family over today . . . but I procrastinated getting their Christmas gifts together.  Par for the course.
I wanted to take a photo of the kids and frame it, but that didn’t happen so I searched through photos from 2008 and found three that I like and threw [...]

are in order for the Wii.
I had to have a sit down with the kids and explain to them that the floor had to be picked up before playing the Wii, because they are up moving around constantly . . . someone might break an ankle.  Also, there will be no meltdowns.  NO MELTDOWNS I [...]

I’m so exhausted I accidentally published this post before I even wrote it!  :duh:
I haven’t slept on Christmas Eve for the last several years, which always leaves me a bit loopy on Christmas day.  But in a way, it’s a good thing because I’m so mellow, all the yelling and screaming in joy and excitement [...]

I finally broke down and bought a coffee maker. And I’m so glad I did, the cup of joe this morning was delightful.

and the fudge . . . though I think she got a little too friendly with the spoon. What a [...]
