Well, our weekend is drawing near-- Bobbie, we have tried to get that snow you wanted, but I will have to admit it might not be quieto sledding depth;-yet! Has been cold, cold; and I am already in the mood for spring. As soon as the Chrismas decorations can come down, it can go back to 50 degrees.
Dad is off trying to buy cows today, I think to Bassett, Nebraska. So will have the whole house to myself and in theory should get lots done. Still have to work on Christmas cards and should try to finish Christmas decorations. At least then I could put away the multitude of plastic tubs that are littering the upstairs hallway. Maybe some baking would be a good idea. Brings me to my question of the week-- any requests for specific Christmas food- either treats or for the basic meal?? Send me your comment and I will take it under consideration. Jill, I am presuming you will come with a cheesecake idea-- no pressure though-.
Have a new adult type game I ordered. Hope we can try it out next week.
I have been dying to guess who's tree is whose. Kevin, I know that was not part of the contest but I will give it a shot since the voting days are pretty much over. #1 has to be the Dave Kriz family- would have been surer if there was a little pet damage somewhere observable, or maybe a kid silo of corn set up under it; #2 I think is the Las Vegas Kriz's; # 3 looks like it has Tammy's well planned decorating touch so I am betting on them; # 4 is ours of course; #5 is Bobbie, Kevin and Kade's- it leans just like ours; and #5 is the Thurston crew- easy because I saw it first hand. Did I mix any up??
Jeannie, I am working on Isabella's quilt again. Hopefully I can get it to someone who will quilt it after Christmas and work on some things for those twins. Had a great time last weekend babysitting Isabella and going to the shower. Thanks for having me, always enjoy visiting you guys. Jason, your breakfasts rock!!
Have a good week and a half. Jill, did you figure out a schedule yet? I am presuming the celebration day is still the 22nd??? See you all soon. Love, Mom

Food considerations? Jill's cheesecake is a family mandate. One of these years she's going to give in and let me help her.
C'Mon Jill, you know you could use my fine culinary skills!
I am good with whatever you choose for food! The question is: What do you want each of us to bring?
I will make spritz cookies, as usual, and will try to come up with something else to snack on. I am craving a cheeseball, though, and no one makes them better than you, so I guess that is my official request! Just make sure to hide it from David so there's some left for the rest of us. Ha.
As for the party day.....what day did you end up having to work? I thought we had decided on Sunday, Dec. 23 for the party because you had to work on Saturday? Either day will work, depending on your schedule and when Jill's flight gets in on Saturday. Just let us know. If Jill's flight isn't too late, maybe Saturday is a better choice. Plus, the kids will be wanting to open their presents.
We are coming in on Friday evening. Hope to get there without having to drive too much in the dark.
I am down with a nasty headcold, and very concerned that Kevin and Kade will get it just in time for the Christmas party. We'll see. I am washing my hands every five minutes, but have probably already spread my germies. Geez, what timing.
Stay warm. We finally saw the sun today, after about a week of gray. It was refreshing!
