It's been awhile...

I know that I haven't posted anything in a few days but we have been really busy. We visited Dan's brother and his wife on Wednesday. We went to downtown Kalamazoo and looked at the Christmas lights. It was alot of fun. We really haven't done anything else fun just working alot and getting ready for Christmas. Can't wait to see everyone.

It's baking day again.

This morning I woke up in a baking mood again. So today I found the "Neiman Marcus" cookie recipe. First of all I found out that it is just an urban legend. Second if you ever decide to make this cookie cut the recipe in half or you will be baking all day. I even had to have Dan help so I could get ready for work. It makes about 10 dozen cookies. Hope the guys at work enjoy them because they are going to be eating them for a long time. Dan and I both ate one and enjoyed it but then looked at the full counter and almost fell over from the shock. I wonder if any of our neighbor's would like some....

PS I made cupcakes last night on top of all of this...

The next thing that I want to make is Banana Bread with NO nuts. But I don't have a bread pan :( maybe Santa will bring me one.

Say thank you to our troops...

My grandpa sent me this link check it out. It is really easy you pick a card and then you pick what the card will say, you can even write your own note. Then it will get send to a troop. I think they will love it, who doesn't like to get mail???

It snowed today so I am ready for spring. I really hate the winter season. It is tooooo cold. Last night while Dan was at work I went Christmas shopping for him and I got him the coolest thing. I showed it to his friend who lives upstairs and he said that he was jealous. I can't wait for him to see it.
