I am done shopping for Christmas!!! I went on my annual MOA trip with the girls this past weekend and the little bit of shopping I had left to do is now done! Since I had so little shopping to do for others I had to do some shopping for me. I look at the Christmas pictures at Kirklands every year and think how nice they would look over the fireplace. Well this year when we were there they were all 40% off and I was looking at the one I really wanted and just could not decide if I should do it. The store clerk saw me looking and said she would give me another 15% off so I had to do it. I was sure Rick would not be happy with me but he loved the picture and put it up as soon as I got home with it. I am really glad I got it, I think it looks great.
After spending the weekend shopping I was really glad that I had two more days off of work. On Monday I got to babysit Josie and Eli all day and then Liam when he got done with school. I have not babysat them in a long time so it was fun to have them again. Josie was super excited when I told her we would make cookies as soon as Eli went down for his nap. She kept telling me it was his nap time :) We made sugar cookies and then when Rick picked Liam up from school we all frosted them. We had fun.
Yesterday I decided that I was going to do some baking for Christmas. I have not done much of it the last couple of years so I decided I would this year since I am hosting Christmas for Rick's family. I baked pretty much all day yesterday. I finished at 8:00 last night. I got everything done but the caramels I want to make. They are so good but they take forever to cook. Maybe on my next days off I will be able to get them done.
Now about the only thing I need to do for Christmas is wrap and finish painting the inside of Josie's doll house. Oh I guess I also need to finish my gifts for our Pinterest Christmas with the kids.
Hope you all enjoy 12-12-12
Later Sharon
