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!
"What is Christmas? It is tenderness for the past, courage for the present, hope for the future. It is a fervent wish that every cup may overflow with blessings rich and eternal, and that every path may lead to peace." Agnes M. Pahro
I truly believe that if we keep telling the Christmas story, singing Christmas songs, and living the Christmas spirit, we can bring joy and happiness and peace to this world." Norman Vincent Peale
"The perfect Christmas tree? All Christmas trees are perfect!" Charles N. Barnard
"Were I a philosopher, I should write a philosophy of toys, showing nothing else in life need to be taken seriously, and that Christmas Day in the company of children is one of the few occasions on which men become entirely alive." Robert Lynd
"My idea of Christmas, whether old-fashioned or modern, is very simple: loving others. Come to think of it, why do we have to wait for Christmas to do that?" Bob Hope
"This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone." Taylor Caldwell
"Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas." Dale Evans
"God Bless Us Everyone!" Tiny Tim, Charles Dickens

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.

Family Weekend
I had another fun family weekend. My nephew Shane was blessed and what a great experience. My dad blessed him. Shane is so special he has everyone loving him. How could you not? But it is fun to see. Grandpa says that we spoil him but he is right there spoiling Shane too! It is cute to see my parents as grandparents.
Even my oldest brother is getting in on it. When he goes to town with my mom, he is always finding stuff to get for Shane. A lot the toys are not age appropriate for a three month old, but he has good intentions. Mike told Shelly that he needs to figure out what he can give Shane for Christmas. It is a lot of fun to have a baby around.
