Tis' the Season

This holiday season flew by again! Tay and I scheduled the week leading up to Christmas to be as organized as possible. The weather threw us a curve ball, causing us to cram all the errands into Tuesday, my only non-snowy day off. They claimed that a blizzard of the decade was on the way! We knocked out the errands and then planned a day of baking AND BEING SNOWED IN, on Thursday. That part was kind of exciting for us!

We woke up on Thursday and began baking sugar cookies, pecan balls and chocolate crinkle cookies. I made my traditional Coquita concoction, so the drunken raisins could soak a bit. Bubby woke up and helped make chocolate covered pretzels and pb crackers candies. The snow did fall, although definitely no record-breaker, and the doggos got to enjoy some playtime outside...Milo came back in with sparkles! They both turned out to be good taste-testers too! 

We got all the presents wrapped (Tay even wrapped all my tiny gifts in a special way!) and finally felt like I could breath a sigh of relief...bring on Christmas!

I was about to go to bed, when Tay came in, asking to open the gift that Allison and Andrew sent. Blake has just got home from work and she just couldn't wait until Christmas Eve! They are so sweet, they got the kids both a gift card, us a doggy snack phone attachment, to get the doggos to look at us for pics! lol! They also got us a cool board game to try out, and an electronic lighter/fire stick, which drove the kids and dogs ears crazy even though Billy and I couldn't hear it.
