A Christmas Tradition

In our family it is tradition to make all sorts of Christmas cookies for the week until Christmas. I love to do it! It's one of my favorite parts of the season. All of us girls wake up early in the morning and make cookies all day. It's lots of fun, just the girls in the kitchen cooking, laughing, and reminising. (ya I probablly didn't spell that right) We made Cherry winks,

Oreo Cookies

Sugar cookies

Waffle cookies

And I attempted to make peanut brittle!! Justin insisted on peanut brittle and I have never made it before! It was very interesting. I am going to try again on Monday, but this is probablly the only year he will get it! So this years tradition was fun, and very memorable!!
Merry Christmas!!

Black Friday!!

Ya my Black Friday experience was a good one. I can't disclose what it was that I was waiting for to get because I don't know if Justin would be looking at this or not so all you know is that it's for Justin.
Well we get at Wal-Mart at like 4:00. I am waiting by the pallets that has the mystery gift in it. I was waiting there until 5:00 when the store opens. I was even standing right in front of it, leaning on it if you will. So it turns 5 and all heck breaks loose!! Literally!! All the people behind me pushed me so I was up against the pallet! The corner of the box was jabbing me in the ribs. So I yell, "I can't breathe!!" and I push them back. So what do they do? Shove me even harder into the box! So I finish opening the box (ya they didn't even let me get the box completely open) and what happens.....I slice my fingers on the box!! I even drew blood!!! I will never forget this years Black Friday that's for sure!! Oh the things we do for the ones we love!!!


Ya it totally looked worse when it happened. This was the next day.
