                             That's what my day today was filled with...
 
   Today Chelsea and I went over to Trish's for some mom and me time building gingerbread houses.  The weather started turning bad just as it was time to leave, but we figured as long as we take it slow, we'll be fine... and we were.

  We had a blast making our gingerbread house...

  As usual we had a great time at the cookie exchange yesterday.  The weather started getting bad at the end of the day which caused for slow travel on the way home, but what a fun day to remember.
  To begin with you have a group of friends who get to spend the day together.

Day 16

We had a blast decorating the tree last night!  Finally got to it
  It was nasty weather, everyone was home so I turned on the Christmas music and we all began to dance and sing as we hung the ornaments on the tree.  Chelsea got into some hilarious dancing which put some of us out of business as we were on the floor laughing.  But soon we got back to it and filled the tree with ornaments.

Chelsea and Joel are at work and Zach is over his friends.  The oven is turned on and I need to get back to baking that LAST 6 dozen cookies.  I hope one more double batch will do it?
These favors Brenda got at a craft show in Michigan.  I plan to take them apart and try and make one myself.  Probably won't be happening until after the holidays at this rate, but I'll add it to that list of things...

Day 15
 

and its 7:15pm.  I know I better get a move on but it seems I need to have the house in order before I can begin this baking process.  Because it seems for some reason you go away for a couple days and the house becomes a disaster area?  Zach is at a friends house, Chelsea is at the movies with Ben's family and Joel's still at work.  So I've cleaned the bathroom, cleaned most of the kitchen except...

I knew this was going to happen.  I knew before I left just how much I was going to have to do when I got home, but for some reason its just starting to sink in.
I have to get to two banks, bake 19 dozen cookies, pick up orders to deliver tomorrow, open all the mail and oh my clean my house. But that's what seems to happen with two fun days away!
So as I have so much today, I best get working...

Day 14

Home from Michigan - it's 11:30 PM and I'm exhausted but we had a blast.  The weather was great and I took tons of pictures!  Can't wait to post them.  So much fun with friends and shopping. 
Some of my favorite things..
