Countdown...

I "braved" the grocery store and PX yesterday. Whew! It was a total madhouse even at noon. I can't even imagine what it looked like last night!! Ugh, I try not to go out to stores this close to Christmas. It is exhausting.

On the bright side, I was able to get all of my cookie baking things. The family always makes cookies together before the big day. Even C! We always try a new recipe mixed with the old "tried and true" ones. This year it will be my neighbors sugar cookie recipe.

We also have a tradition of painting our own ornaments for the tree. Hopefully, we will get a chance to do that Friday evening. The kids will be on winter break then. :0D

I hope everyone is having as much fun as I am getting ready for the holidays!
