It was quick decision weather, aka: dumping rain, and in 15 minutes we had Gram's tree and ours on the roof of our van - named Vincent VanGo - and were off home. We spent the evening decorating the house and tree, searching the attic for Zack's stocking - which we still haven't found - listening to Christmas music and watching The Quiet Man, a great movie but rather incongruent with the rest of the evening as it all takes place in the middle of summer. Yesterday I baked sugar cookies and today I baked two pumpkin pies with Dad, an apple pie and a batch of chocolate chip cookies.
I love baking at Christmas time - or any time for that matter - and it is especially rewarding when you have three very hungry, very appreciative and very non-picky brothers. If you have no brothers - be ye man, woman, boy or girl- I pity you greatly.Claire
Haha, I can't find my stocking either! It must be the year for it.
ReplyDeleteClaire, your cookies sound (and look!) amazing. Looking at that picture makes me want to go bake something! Hmm... maybe I'll make some fudge tonight. :)
Y'all should keep posting! I certainly will read it. :)
Merry Christmas!
