The whole family got in on the decorating action while listening to Christmas music, much to Althea's chagrin. She's pretty sure she's going to get sick of the music any day now! LOL.
Then we went over to our friend's house for some games, went to the mall's tree lighting ceremony and came back to our house with some other friends for left overs and more games. It was a very busy and super fun day.
On Saturday, I went to my friends house to make toffee. She has people over twice in December and shows them how to make the perfect toffee. It was a lot of fun baking and hanging out with the girls. Since I've been working again, I haven't had as much time as I'd like to spend with them. I am truly blessed to have such wonderful friends. You know who you are! Here's a picture of the delicious toffee.
Later Saturday night, our family played B.S. (the card game) We all were on a sugar high and laughed the whole 90 minutes it took us to play the game. The game was going on so long, I totally started cheating. I was putting 2 or 3 cards down at a time and Totally got busted! It was so funny.
On Sunday, we got tons errands done. I bought those super hard to find items that my mother-in-law had to have; I got a new outfit for my Christmas party, wrapped a bunch of presents and have them all ready to get mailed out. I even have my cards stamped and ready to go. I really like getting as much done as possible as early as possible so I can sit back and enjoy my favorite time of the year.
What are some of your holiday traditions? Is there something that you bake and would like to share the recipe with us? Please email me so I can write about it. Or post comments in the comment section.
Thanks for reading!
