There are a few things left to do. I haven't finished mailing our Christmas cards. Even though, every night I say that's what I'm going to do. I haven't wrapped any presents yet. And I've only listened to Christmas music once.
I have made a decision, though, and maybe this will help. I'm going to start Christmas baking. Everyone knows I like to cook, but my first love is definitely baking. When I was young, I baked all the time. There are few pleasures greater in life than cookies fresh from the oven. Then something happened, I discovered break-n-bake cookies and brownie mixes. Baking from scratch is an endeavor I rarely make a go at these days. I just don't have the time anymore. But this year I've decided to find a Christmas cookie to become my yearly tradition, and no shortcuts! It has to be completely from scratch, look impressive, and taste awesome. I'm going to start with a childhood favorite that no one in my family makes anymore. If baking goes well, I'll post pictures.
But before I do any of that, I have to get Evan packed. He's going to Grandma's for the weekend. Jeff and I are going to enjoy a couple of date nights, finish what Christmas shopping we have left, wrap Evan's presents, and of course, sleep in!!

I've been on a cookie baking extravanganza this week! I do them all from scratch, so I'd love to hear your recipe-if it turns out. :-) Happy baking and enjoy your time with your husband!
