Not only am I done my baking & decorating...I have accomplished the most mind occupying task yet! I finished shopping for my hubby! :love: His birthday is on the 24th...and of course Christmas the next day. So...It is always a challenge for me to figure out what to get him. But I am done!
*I can hear the Hallelujah Chorus...can you? :left: :whistle: :angel: *
Oh ya, I have a bunch of pics to show you...my 2 youngest waited in line for about 30 minutes to see Santa.
We thought we would go to the mall...kind of a new family tradition. :smile:

Cookies & more cookies...

I finally finished baking my sugar cookies & gingerbread cookies.
I also managed to get started in decorating them. :chef:
In all I am sure I baked over 20 dozen...I didn't count. I know that I spent about 6 hours solid in the kitchen today. :eyes:



I found a great recipe for icing for cookies...if anyone would like it, I will gladly give it to you! :smile: Have a wonderful week-end! :heart:
p.s. Happy Hanukkah to all my Jewish friends! :heart:

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Yesterday we got our tree. The kids picked it out on our property and it is now decorated in our living room. (I'll get some pics of that soon.)
Here are a couple of pics of me holding on to the tree.. :lol: It was heavy...and Peter was securing it in its stand.


Today I spent until about 10 minutes ago (about 5 hours)...baking shortbread cookies. I am so tired of it right now. I still need to do gingerbread men, and sugar cookies...but it'll have to wait for another day. :left:
I realize that this is not what Christmas is all about...but it is something I know my family so enjoys..and I want to do it for them. :love:



Anyhow..the kids will be off the bus soon...have a good evening. :smile: :heart:

Butter, Butter, BEURRE!

Last night, we went into the Prior (town of Arnprior) to drop off Josh @ his cadets program...and then to pick up some ingredients for baking. Christmas baking & my cakes. I bought 10 lbs of butter yesterday!!! :eyes:
Then, today, again in the Prior...on the way out of the bank then to the new Shoppers Drug Mart store's grand opening....I ran into a friend.. (hi Liz! :love: )..and she told me they had butter on sale for $2.77/lb! Almost a $1 cheaper per pound than I paid the day before. p:
Sooooooooo....I bought 4 more lbs. (that was the limit :frown: )
lol..then I asked Peter if he wouldn't mind picking up 4 more after work. So he is. :D
I need the butter for my icing...and for my shortbread cookies. I need to get a crack on my Christmas baking. Gingerbread men, Sugar cookies...and Whipped Shortbread...my usual cookie menu for Christmas.


Anyhow...before I overstimulate you all with my thrilling life stories...I better go, and get some stuff done around here.

I really wish it would stop raining. It is about 14 degrees celcius today...and raining. Then later it is supposed to plummet down to freezing temps. I just hope it stops raining when it does that...or else it'll be messy. :down: :no: Not to mention, very dangerous & treacherous for driving conditions. Take care everyone! :heart:
