I think we're starting to see some progress as we close in on Christmas in just 4 days! (I started typing this on the 21st.) Today, the girls and I spent several hours making goodies; some for us, some for friends. We made a load of Peanut Butter Balls, a double batch of Tiger Butter, 81 Thin Mints (Erica counted :-), 1 1/2-batches of White Chocolate Party Mix and Spiced Pecans. We spent an inordinate amount of time making everything, packaging it up, then cleaning up after ourselves. By then it was about 3:00 and no one had eaten any lunch. However, many had eaten a fair amount of chocolate! ;-) Rachel & I showered, got everybody loaded up and made a run for the border. By the time we did all this, it was 4:35 before we were heading over to Dr. Moon's office to deliver the goodies. While en route (but still very close to Lebanon), I decided to check to see what time their office closed. Turns out it was 4:30! So, I made a U-turn, then headed back in to town to mail our Christmas photo cards. It was actually pretty enjoyable – we were all in good spirits and Grant & Trent both slept!
The rest of the evening was spent eating dinner – yummy Baked French Toast, provided by a kind soul at church – and gift wrapping with Mick while the girls cleaned up from dinner and took turns holding Trent. We probably got at least half of it done! I'm determined to finish before Christmas this year!!
