Preparations...

Hello everyone! Only 5 days until Christmas...are you ready? I spent my day busy with holiday preparations...laundry & grocery shopping do not really count, but I did those things also! :) I baked those yummy peanut butter cookies with the Hershey's Kisses on top, Chex mix and two batches of mini muffins...a cinnamon strudel & orange cranberry. For me, baking is a very important part of the Christmas tradition...I absolutely love all the cookies, candy's and sweet treats people make this time of year. Brings back fond memories of home. I'm feeling sort of jealous of the folks in Denver tonight...wishing I was there to snuggle by a fire & watch the falling snow...I am glad someone will have a white Christmas! Tomorrow a couple of my dear friends are coming over & I'm preparing brunch...I have a yummy menu planned! I'm hoping to take a few pictures to post. ~michelle
