In our kitchen we have...
- made umpteen dozen cookies from about 6 different recipes, including...
- harlequins and butter cookies from old family recipes
- made homemade toffee for the first time from this recipe...oh, how I love toffee!
- baked 2 loaves of pumpkin bread (one for a gift, and one for us!)
- decorated two delightful gingerbread houses
- assembled 4 teacher gifts: glass jars from Ikea that I etched with etching cream from the craft store, then filled with peppermints and decorated with ribbon and scrapbooked tags
- been reading nightly from our Advent devotion book, and lit all four candles on the Advent wreath this past Sunday
- Gone to see a local musical production of Rapunzel with the Daisy scouts
- Watched the boy and his 3-year-old classmates perform at their Christmas program
- Visited with family members who weren't able to make cookies this year (gasp!) so we could deliver some trays to them
- Visited Daddy at work to see how spring-making machines work (and the boy was totally fascinated)
- Made a trip to the pediatrician for the cough that won't go away and girlie is now on 4 (!) prescription medications. Thankfully, she sounds terrible but doesn't feel too bad!
- Made more than one "last" trip to the store for the "final" shopping...and its not over yet!
