Christmasing?

Well this weekend, I had all these ideas in my head. I was going to do some more baking because I love to bake and it is the holidays. That did not happen. I looked at the recipes but never quite got past that stage. The only thing I made was pumpkin dip. It is so yummy! Just a can of pumpkin, vanilla pudding mix, cool whip, and pumpkin pie spice. Then you dip ginger snaps in it. So good! I am taking that to the family Christmas Eve party. So I am all ready to go.

I did get my Christmas gifts delivered to the neighbors over the weekend. So that was progress.

I watched Elf for the first time this weekend as well. I enjoyed that.

Tonight, I have to get my car packed. I hope that the weather is ok when I drive to Idaho!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas Quotes

I love quotes and here are some quotes that I found that I really like.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Merry Christmas!

It is the Christmas season and Thanksgiving seems like it was so long ago. Ever get one of those calls that just changes everything and not in a good way? Well I did last weekend. People can ask why. You can say it is the holidays. I have learned some things though. We all take things differently. Sometimes things are hard to understand. Love is eternal. Families are forever. Sometimes you don't have to say anything to be there for someone. Friends are great to just let you cry for a minute.
So even though things can be hard, the Christmas season is a great time to remember the birth of our Savior. That He brought us all peace and mercy.
