Christmas

[arenee1999]

All things considered we had a pretty good Christmas. I spend all day Christmas Eve baking (about 13 hours) and made a Pumpkin Roll and 5 kinds of cookies.

- Christmas Lace Cookies
- Gingersnaps
- Snickerdoodles
- Melt-Away Butter Fingers
- Hot Chocolate Cookies





If anyone wants the rest of the cookie recipes I'll post them. :)

I finished my part of the cooking yesterday morning by making potato cakes (more commonly known as lefse).


I got most of what I asked for for Christmas plus a few extra things. My Christmas Presents



There is a story behind the Hungry Hungry Hippos game.
I had one as a kid but it's an extremely noisy game and my mother got very annoyed by it so she accidentally-on-purpose broke it by stepping on it. Well, now it's 22 years later and I'm getting my replacement for it. ;)

I also got gift cards to Michael's and Target.


We got over a foot of snow between Wednesday and yesterday and last night it rained for awhile then turned to sleet and back over to snow. @_@ I just love Minnesota weather.

I still haven't finished, or actually even started, the gifts I plan on making. Hopefully I'll get it done before the reveal.
