Not a whole lot new to report. Saturday morning I baked a lot...church windows, Carmel corn, chili in the crock pot, and sugar cookies dough. On Sunday several gals from work came over to make cookies to exchange for gift giving. This is a tradition we have all been at for about 4 years now. It is fun to hang out with the girls, drink (well, for them), listen to Christmas music, whine about men, decorate/make cookies, snack on meatballs and spinach artichoke dip and just enjoy the day. I didn't take any pictures of us actually decorating or making cookies, but here is a pic of the results.
Then it was back to the grind on Monday - no day off as usually as I have to make up all those holiday hours I will take next week. Lots of unrest here at work lately...as budget cuts, politics, and bad press fill us all with a certain sense of doom. Oh well, it is a pay check and despite the usually slack during the holidays I am busier than normal dealing with hot political issues.
Here are some pics of the house all decorated for Christmas...although it is hard to get in the holiday mood when the weather here has been in the 70's! I guess I shouldn't complain as most folks I know from the North are sick of the snow and ice already.
For several years now, my mom/dad have been giving me Gone With the Wind ornaments. This year we purchased a smaller fake tree to display them on. We still put up the old tinsel tree too with all the other ornaments and color wheel.
We've received a few presents in the mail since we will be flying to/from Michigan this year. Here are some new shoes that Aaron's mom/dad sent for him. Thank you!
That's it for now. Can't wait to go home for the holidays to see family and friends...only 6 more days till we fly to MI!
