Christmas Greeting Card


So this year I am running extremely behind.  I don't understand how I let this happen.  My usual baking hasn't happened.  My cards aren't sent.  I just found out from most printers that I wouldn't get my cards until Christmas Eve.  So, this year I am sending out cards without my kids pictures.  Boo hoo!  I just took this picture Saturday and have decided to home print just 3-4 for my immediate family and put them in their cards.  I think they turned out pretty well and the printing job on photo paper turned out pretty nice too.

I attempted to make some sugar cut out cookies and managed to mess that up big time.  So, starting from scratch.  I did make a batch of my buckeye's (peanut butter balls) and they turned out great.  That bunch has already disappeared.  The plan is to make a second batch tonight of those and make some Mexican wedding cookies (which I love :) )  I also want to make some chocolate covered pretzels that I put in a mold.  The molds are reindeer, snowman and a Santa.  They look very nice and make great gifts.

We are on about our third or fourth batch of snow.  I love it.  I know most don't, but it will be great to have a white Christmas so if this starts melting, I hope we get some on Christmas Eve.  Then it can melt and I'm good for the rest of this year until next winter. 

Counting down for school to be out.  This is our last week and we go for four days.  I'm looking forward to the break and I know my son is as well.  I will have a few days to finish up these last minute list items.
