Christmas Baking

Well, I haven't done any actual baking this year. 

But we did work on these beauties last night.

I even let the big kids get in on the action.

Mmmmm.

Tonight we'll finish dipping cashews and whole dried strawberries.

Two nights ago McKay and I laid all the kids Christmas presents out on the bed to evaluate.

After gathering gifts throughout the year and shoving them in my closet I forget what I have for each child.  

I'm happy to announce my Christmas shopping is DONE!!!!

The only thing left is to take everyone to the dollar store to buy for each other.  

I wait all year for October, November, and December.  

I love the cool weather, the activities, music, and smells.

It makes me sad that in less than two weeks Christmas will already be OVER.  

I'm going to enjoy every second of the next several days and I hope you do too!!

Merry Christmas!
