It is the eve of Christmas Eve!!! Are you busy? Been busy? About to get really busy?? I’ve been busy. Accomplished a lot yesterday to get ready for today. Today we have a Christmas dinner party at a friends house. It was a very nice time. Lot’s of food and fellowship, something I needed today.
We came home and decided upon these yummy, little cookies! Daniel helped me make them. I am really enjoying him baking with me, it has added more fun to it for me. These cookies will be going to a single sailor/unaccompanied Christmas lunch taking place on Christmas day.
I am tired, really tired but happy. Tomorrow morning, early…very early…like 6am early brings more baking and getting everything ready and prepped for our Christmas dinner and our desserts. We will be watching Christmas movies and listening to Christmas music, having fun together! I hope you are all ready for the magical day that is almost here!!!
Merry Christmas!
