Merry Christmas. I hope you are enjoying all the wonderful things around you – people, places, music, love, friendships — whatever makes you smile! We just got a group email that one of our Skunk Hollow cousins got engaged! That is very exciting and I’m very happy for both of them.
I haven’t seen the ring so I don’t know what it looks like!
It’s quiet here right now – has been all day. But I’m going to Nate’s later, and his whole family plus several friends will be there – so I understand it won’t be quiet! I just finished making brownies for dessert. I wanted to ice a few of them, and when I touched the tops to check on them — apparently they weren’t cool enough because I got chocolate chips all over my hand!
Brownies
I guess it wasn’t cool enough….
Once the brownies were done and put in travel containers, I melted down some white chocolate and covered the rest of the holiday Oreos (not mint). Melted enough to cover a few mini-chocolate chip cookies, too.
White chocolate covered.
I did several loads of laundry this morning, scrubbed the kitchen floor, did dishes several times, picked up the Pack n Play from Autmn’s mom’s house at 9am, wrote some emails, and changed the batteries in two light sets. I have The Christmas Train playing in the background for company.
Last night Autmn’s family stopped here to get Cameron a bath. They were staying at her mom’s overnight and all they have are showers. All he wanted to do was play with his barn and the mailbox with the snowball in it. This morning Autmn sent me a picture of Cameron opening his gifts – she said it was chaos there for sure. But they all had fun.
It’s a wonder he can see with all that hair…
Cameron’s GRINCH PJ’s – see the mailbox to his left?
Chaos at Autmn’s Mom’s
After I picked up the pack n play, Noah, Autmn and Cameron went to his mom and step-dad’s for lunch and part of the afternoon. Again, more gifts, and it looks like he was enjoying the frog! I could use a turn at whacking something….
Whack-a-frog….
So I have to do a bit of ironing and I’m done for the day. I had (have) plenty of time so I’m just lazing along. Have a wonderful holiday celebration – sending Christmas hugs and wishes.

I love owning my home – except when I have to weed the hill. No candy canes, please. I try not to whine but it happens. If you do get a box, I hope it’s pleasant. God bless…
