Ready for Christmas

Well, school's out, grades are turned in, and I am ready for Christmas vacation. I am still managing to get some work done (book research, grant editting), but I am more antsy than normal. Poor Brian is still working overtime, trying to pull ahead so his actual vacation will be less stressful. I, on the other hand, have been baking more cookies, wrapping Christmas presents, addressing Christmas cards, and sipping hot cocoa. I made cookies a couple days ago with a recipe Anne sent me, and they turned out great. I think I am replacing my old recipe with Anne's---thanks Anne!

We will be heading north early next week. I hope it stops snowing for a few days so the roads can be nicely plowed, but that might just be wishful thinking on my part. Amanda, when will you be in West Michigan?

We're traveling up on the 22nd and will be there until the 27th. Are you available the 26th or the day of the 27th?

Glad you liked the recipe! I love it so much that I use it for all occasions - just change up the cookie cutters and you've got Halloween, Easter, Valentine's day, or any occasion cookies. We even had snowflake ones at our wedding using that recipe.

Probably a good thing you're not headed into Michigan at the moment.... right now, nicely plowed roads are unfortunately not an option!

Amanda, we will be in Ohio during those days. It is too bad that we will miss you.
