Hoorah!

Good News, the cards are done and ready to mail. 2 blogs in one day, what is up? Well, I found some Christmas presents in the closet I forgot I had bought earlier in the year. Oh, Happy Day! Two little boys, whom my daughter has now named Herbie and Big Weld are going to be so happy when Nona pulls all of their gifts out from under the tree. Ms. Violet will be surprised herself...I cannot believe the size of pajamas I had to buy her; she loves footie j's. I only have batteries to buy to power all the toys Nona and Popa will be handing out this Christmas. Batteries cost a fortune and kids forget to turn their new toys off...so it is always helpful to have backup batteries available. It is getting to be a lot like Christmas around here now that the cards are finally finished. The two tykes down the street are expecting something grand...I hope what I bought qualifies! Next week, I will be baking homemade candies...it is so much fun...I can't wait. Look out Almond Roca, I am geared for the best batch ever. Peanut Brittle is my favorite, so of course, there will be a big batch of that. Martha Washington's for hubby and eldest daughter, of course, she wants hers without the nuts and coconut...so one recipe now makes 3 different kinds of bon bons. Hoorah! Hoorah! Hoorah! Christmas is all about giving...I am excited to give away love, candy, presents, and anything else that makes my family happy. Youngest son-in-law wants a chocolate cream pie and that he shall have. Hmmmm!
