Only one week til Christmas now - it's so funny how you change when your life significantly changes. I used to just hate Christmas, until I met Dewayne - he loves Christmas - and it's contagious. Every year I get more and more into it, and I really enjoy it. I was such a scrooge before!!! I made little goodie bags for everyone that I work with, for ALL of the kids teachers, at school and at church - so I baked for like a whole week - ended up with about 30 big bags of goodies that each contained 3-5 little bags of homemade goodies. It felt nice to show those that have such an impact on my kids how much I appreciate all they do. I have a few more left to make for family - I thought that would be nice for them too. I made candy for the first time ever - and it was so easy - I loved it - so I think next time I'm going to experiment with flavors and see what happens. This time it was just sugar candy, but it was good... the fudge on the other hand - oh boy - the first batch didn't set at all - the second batch - well, it was crunchy - like gritty type of crunchy - because the sugar didn't melt I guess - I don't know - I'm done with fudge - it's not really my forte... so I made reg. chex mix and then the puppy chow chex mix which is just reg. chex mix coated with cho. and then powdered sugar - yummy!! and I made cookies and bread, and Firehouse crackers - which everyone loved. So everyone in the office is happy, all the teachers are happy, and I am too!!
it was so funny today, Sarah - who is 2 - she loves to sing, and this morning we were listening to Christmas carols on the radio - and the First Noel was playing - she was singing along with it - Noel Noel Noel Noel - but it came out - no way, no way, no way, no way - It was too cute!!
