FOR TODAY~December 6, 2010
Outside my window... SNOW!!  Very cold this week with windchills below 0
I am thinking...about some good points our pastor had in the sermon yesterday
I am thankful for... the health of my children.  I have heard a lot about ill children and I realized how much I took our health for granted
From the kitchen...lasagna and salad
I am wearing...jeans and sweater
I am creating...burp cloths for some friends
 I am going...to get Christmas cards done this week and enjoy this holiday with our families
I am reading... Bible
I am praying...for simplicity in our lives, for some specific needs for a couple of friends
I am hearing...little ones playing and watching "The Magic School Bus"
Around the house...Christmas decorations up, thinking about moving our curio cabinet
One of my favorite things...spending time with my family~we had a great birthday party this weekend for 2 of our boys
A few plans for the rest of the week...a birthday for one of our kids, piano and guitar lessons, date night with hubby on Friday~it's been waaaay tooo long
Here is picture thought I am sharing...

Christmas Baking!

I love baking, but at Christmas time, I really love baking!  Everything is better at Christmas, including the goodies.  This year, while I am trying to scale things back to just mildly out of control :), I want to try a few of my grandmother's recipies.  She loved baking at Christmas time also.  I got started today with our 2 littlest kiddo's.  I am waiting to do cutout cookies until all the kids are around, but today while the oldest 3 were at school we made Christmas tree cookies with the cookie press. 

Of course, the best part about cookie baking is licking the beaters!

Waiting patiently for them to come out of the oven...

And since the beaters have been licked clean, it's now time to start on the empty bowl....

....And finally enjoying the finished product!!

Yummy!!  Have a great weekend!

Blessings,

Still Here....

I'm still here!  I have been enjoying the thanksgiving holiday, decorating for Christmas, a trip to the ER with our daughter (more on that later!) and enjoying a (somewhat) slower pace with my family.  I'll get back to business soon! 

Blessings,
Jess

Happy Thanksgiving!

Have a Blessed Thanksgiving!!

Blessings,
