Very Excited

We are all very excited that this girl  is coming home from the west coast for the holidays!!!
Her plane is currently delayed.  Seems I went through this with Curtis last week.  They just like keeping me up way past my bedtime.  At least, I haven't worked today!!!! 
 Have been keeping myself busy today.  Baked some of these today.  The top ones are Tim's favourites and Nic says they are his too!!!  The bottom ones are for a co-worker.  I think she thought I was kidding when I said I would bake her some shortbread the other day!!!  She will be surprised!

Went to lunch with friends.  Opened up some bank accounts for the grandkids, that I knew I would need Curtis for .  And yes, I did.  We picked up some bird seed.  The deep freeze is turning on and it will be COLD over Christmas.  And we may even get some snow.  Will be happy when all my little family is together.  The grandkids will be here to harass their auntie tomorrow.  It is the most wonderful time of the year!

A Visit with Santa

Today I picked up H from school and met her mum and brother at the mall. It was time to have a visit with Santa.
It was a great timing. No real line. Just a couple of little ones ahead of us.
Here are the kids waiting in line!!!



















School is finished today for Christmas break. So we have to keep these kiddos entertained until Christmas! Their auntie flies in tomorrow. They shall spend the day here Saturday while their folks work. Christmas time is so magical with these two little ones around.

Her First Christmas Program

Today we headed to Harlee's school as it was their Christmas program. I guess she was upset this morning when they had dress rehearsal-she thought we had all missed it. You could see her searching the gym when they all came in, searching for her family. And then she found us and her little face was beaming!!! And then her daddy showed up and all was perfect. She sang her little heart out!!! They are so cute and adorable when they are in Kindergarten. Bravo, Harlee!! We are very proud of you.

New DishWasher

 Before Curtis came home from CA I had a new dishwasher installed.  He has  been complaining for the last year about the one we had.  I tried to get one after Thanksgiving last year and got totally pissed off at the sales person at Sears, and it has taken me a year to go back!!!!!  But I did and we have a new one.  Nic dismantled the soap door on the old one and no one could get it back together, so when he got interested in the new one I told him not to touch the buttons or the soap door.  He wasn't very happy with me.  Anyway I took a photo of him checking the new one out. 


Today, I am thankful to not be working in the NICU.  Although I could have practically worked almost everyday.  People have been asking me to work shifts left and right.  Never mind, I had my own shifts scheduled.  I guess I should be making hay while the sun shines.  But, I am tired.
So, I was at home and baked my short bread cookies.  Two batches of regular and one with pecans.  Tomorrow I should do a batch with dried cranberries that are so yummy. 
Kirsten and I went to Target to find Harlee a pair of dress shoes for her Christmas program tomorrow.  Should be cute.  We will be there early to get good seats.   And the camera battery will be all charged and ready to go.  Then we plan to take the kids to see Santa at the mall.  Santa already visited Nic at preschool and he told him he wanted a stop sign for Christmas!!!  What the heck!.


The above ones are small Ritz peanut butter crackers with candy melt and decorated.

December Memory Book

It's been a bit since I have mentioned anything about my December memory book. I have been working on some foundation pages and thought I should have an updated post. .


























I am so sorry the weekend is over. I am headed back to work tomorrow for one more shift and then quite a few days off.
Curtis and ran around for a few last minute gifts to pack that need to be sent up to the Flathead. Then I came home and made a couple more yummies.
