Baking Christmas Cookies


Photo-A-Day #2813

Today we continued to get things together for Christmas. A big shop at BJs in the afternoon followed by some fun home time and finished off with baking cookies.

A couple of weeks ago I went to BJs and picked up a 40 pack of batteries and some cat litter. I got home and couldn’t for the life of me find those batteries. I was kicking myself thinking that I had left them in the cart somehow. But, when we were wrapping gifts (or rather, Allison was wrapping gifts and I was telling her what to wrap and who things were from) I picked up the Hess truck bag and it was super heavy. I pulled out the box with the toy and there was still something in the bag. It was the batteries. For a couple weeks I’d been beating my brain trying to figure out where they went. Glad I did not leave them in the cart.

The Christmas cookies were Betty Crocker packages. We made some Sugar cookies and some Gingerbread ones. We have a great gingerbread man non stick pan and an old pan that had rocking horses, toy soldiers and angels. There is not enough non stick spray in the world to make that pan work. I managed to get two good soldiers one rocking horse and an angel from the pan. After that I stuck (no pun intended) with the Gingerbread boy/girl pan.

Luv U Mike

Last night after I played around with my new lens I went and charged my camera batteries. I wanted to make sure I was all set to take photos on the Cape today. So, this morning I left the house and 20 minutes into my drive remembered that the batteries were being charged. So they were not in my camera bag. Ugh.

I went down to the Cape today to get our room ready for the summer. I also went down to set up the wireless in the house for my dad, so he could read my blog and plan Harley Rides. Dad has been busy at the house, he painted our room, put up some beautiful new molding around the room. I helped him wash the room, move the bed back in, put the headboard back up and also put some decorations on the walls. I’ll make sure I get some shots next time we go down for a weekend.

Eva loves our friend Mike (in today’s Photo-A-Day, she always shouts Mike multiple times throughout the day, she looks out the window and sees his car and yells “Mike”. It is very cute. She even says, “Luv U” to Mike now. The kid is a wonder.

In general we do not let Eva watch much TV. However, when we head down to Disney we are going to a Character breakfast and Mary Poppins will be there. Well, I suggested that Allison let Eva watch Mary Poppins, now she loves it. I can’t wait for Eva to see Mary Poppins and shout “Mary Poppins!’. She’s even starting to say “Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious”.

Thanks Karen
It is the off season so Eva can wear this Colts hat from my friend Karen.
