Week Before Christmas

Christmas finally came to my house in the last two weeks.  Don helped me put the lights outside and I got the house decorated with the tree finally up over the weekend.  I'm a little slow this year.  I didn't think I was going to be having Christmas at my house so I wasn't in a hurry.  Things changed.

After talking with Kenna, Mac and Ricki, it was going to make it hard for Paige and her family coming from Austin & Ray's family to go to Tulsa and be with the rest of us.  We wanted see all of them so it was decided we could do it at my house on Christmas Night with a smaller meal.

Mary is going to bring a turkey and homemade ravioli and Ricki, Kenna and I will fill in the rest.

Christmas isn't Christmas without making candy and I did that on Sunday. Yum Yum!

Peanut Butter balls made out of Nutter Butters

Red Velvet cake balls

Chocolate Cake balls

Chex Mix with Cheetos

Peanut and Cashew clusters

My very willing official taster!!!

Now it's beginning to feel a lot like CHRISTMAS!!!!

I boxed up some of the cake balls and gave them to my neighbors and left a few for us. 

I'll have to go back on Weight Watchers after that's all eaten.

Gave Abby a bath and haircut to be pretty for company on Christmas.

 
I usually do this in the garage but it was too cold out there so I just put her in the sink.
She is laying on her soft blanket next to me this evening with her sweater on.

 

Ricki is finally here for good today.  The movers came this morning, loaded and they will unload at the cottage tomorrow.  She and Chris then headed out about noon and got here about 6:00 after some delays from a wreck around Guthrie. Can't believe she is going to be living in OKC.  They haven't sold their house yet in KS. Hope it sells soon.

Chris's 16th birthday is tomorrow.  Happy Birthday Chris!! He will be going to Bishop McGuiness High School & is in the 10th grade.
