Happy Happy Holidays

I looked around my house this morning and said to myself....Welcome to Toys R Us. Finding a place for all the cool new toys will take a little time. I think that is a project for another day. Ok so we have had 3 christmas get togethers now and we are off to Longmont in the morning......It's snowing all around us and we have to cross a mountain pass no matter which way we go. Plans are to head out and try to be in Colorado Springs around 10:00am so the little ones can visit with their Grandma. On up to Denver...pick Maddie up in Brighton where she spent the night with her cousin Kiya. Then we will have Christmas one more time. Be back home on Sunday night to be to work on Monday.

Simple Pleasure

I woke up this morning with all this ambition....made a pot of coffee sat down to drink it and realized I felt pretty much like#*&@. At that point I scratched off baking from my list of things to do....I was feeling better already so I marked off cleaning my house too.... heck my cleaning lady was just here on Friday...wow now the headache was going away too....had my second cup of java and turned on the TV and sat in my chair with a blanket watched a movie.....That was fun while it lasted then the little ones woke up. I got them up fed them breakfast and settled them down to a movie.....yep back to my chair I went to watch a little HGTV. I did get just a little motivated after lunch and did some things around here but pretty much made this day into a pamper me day. I did take time to hold my little Annie (mini Aussie Pup) every chance I got. Now this was a simple pleasure day!

I wish you all a very safe and happy holiday.

Don't forget the reason for the season!

Enjoy your family and friends!

Final Countdown

Wow ladies it's almost here...yep have most of the packages wrapped and under the tree. Spent last Sunday baking cookies and will bake some more today and a few other goodies. Our cookies must have hit the spot because there aren't many left...oops.

Here is my right hand man when we bake. Madison loves to bake and she does a great job. She and I each made a double batch of our famous sugar cookies. She made plain ones and I made Chocolate. I came across this great recipe for sugar cookies that you make with a cake mix...oh my gosh so yummy. If you are really nice to me I just mite share it with you...it's so easy, and quick...and they taste so good.....

By the time we finished we had most of the kitchen table covered with these little guys. The little ones couldn't wait to decorate them so I mixed up my favorite glaze in pretty colors. We let the little ones decorate some for them....

needless to say I didn't get any decorated that day I was too tired. Today I will bake some more so I have some for all our Christmas.

Work was crazy this week I had appointments booked back to back with no breaks so I could be off and running to Kassie's basketball tourney....
