Where have I been?

You may be asking yourself that when you have come to blog this past week. Well, we have been very busy doing holiday baking, shopping for christmas gifts and stocking stuffers, and of course trying to keep a home clean with 7 people living in it. Now, we are busy getting it ready for 3 more people to come for a visit this friday night. My folks from OR are coming in and our sister from ID is also coming in that night. It will be a busy house, but brimming with lots of love and oozing christmas spirit. :-)

He goes no-where without this belt on... I know, kinda wierd.

Take a short tour with me of our most recent baking adventures. (This morning the kids and I made 10 dozen cookies!) Yes, I am a little tired this afternoon. :-) But my tummy is happy.

Mmmm.... cookies fresh from the oven!

There are many other great pictures but no room in this post. So you will hear from me again soon. Blessings to you all and I wish you a house that smells as good as ours. :-)
