A Great Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We really always do, but it seemed alot more fun this year because the Grandkids came down and spent the night Christmas eve. They usally come down Christmas morning. We had pizza, and made sugar cookies and just had a fun time. The kids iced the cookies and it was funny because they would ice one and then eat one. When they got down to the last few they decided they liked them better without icing. I think they were just tired. When I got up Christmas morning I found them all asleep around the Christmas tree. We had our usual big breakfast and then opened presents. We got some great things but the best present of all was all being together. The cat even got in on Christmas. She is on top of one of the presents.





Opening presents and Jacob got to hand them out along with his uncle this year.

Winter Wonderland.

When winter hit, it hit with full force.We have had below zero cold, snow, fog, you name it and we have had it. We are for sure having a white Christmas. With all of the frost on the trees and bushes, it really is beautiful. I just wish it wasnt so stinking cold. Here are some pictures showing how beautiful the trees and bushes are.

Christmas Treats and Goodies

My girls were here yesterday and we got our candy and other treats made and some of them given out. We had a great time and quite a busy day.I started off making two breakfasts. My son and husband and I had breakfast thinking they would have eaten before they came down but guess what. They called as I was doing our dishes and wanted to know if I was fixing breakfast. So I made another breakfast but Jamie did the dishes. I thought that was fair. Jamie had been to in and out burger the day before so she got two hats for her and Brandi to wear.They looked so cute.They are being silly and having fun. We made mini cheesecakes. fudge, peppermint bark, hersey kiss pretzels, and hot and spicy pretzels. The day before I made cookies and raspberry cream cheese brownies.Brandi had to be to work at 4:00 and Jamie had a christmas party to go to but we got everything done and all in all it was a great day. Here are a few pictures of my cute girls and some of the things we made.

Oh Christmas Tree

Last week-end, on Saturday we went to Salt Lake to do some Christmas shopping, and Sunday decided to put up the tree and do a little decorating. Of coarse sunday was a cold and miserable day, but the trooper I am I fought my way through the cold and blowing snow to my shed to get all of the decorations. not only did I have to fight the blowing snow but the cats trying to get in somewhere warm.It was quite a fight trying to keep them out with my arms full of decorations. I dont know if Im getting old or what but it sure seemed like it took me a long time to get things done.But its done now and everything looks pretty nice. The tree is pretty and in fact I think its prettier than the picture Im going to post shows. I love this time of year and cant wait for the Grandkids to come.
