So all my presents are bought. All my baking goods are bought for the rest of my 25 days of christmas baking. So proud of myself for not missing any yet. The house is decorated. All the kiddies are home! All that is left is the tree which hopefully is today after work. Also need to find the stocking stuffers though there are no actual kids here. We are all kids on the inside. I need to buy a santa present for my co-worker who I drew for this year. The party is Thursday. I'm off that day but I will stop by for a little while.
I have been baking a lot of cookies ranging from mini M&M ones to cinnamon bun cookies. I also made strawberry cupcakes that were filled and topped with cream cheese frosting. That was the best one yet. I'm going to make a strawberry roll cake and fudge and cheesecake petit fours. I'm even going to try to make my own eggnog with low-fat vanilla yogurt.
Jesse and Cody were in a church performance with their drama team. They performed in Alamo, NV and at Opportunity Village. I watched them at the Magical Forest and they were excellent. They made me cry with the last act. It was about how Jesus will always be Mary's baby boy even through all his trials.
Btw I did finish NaNo! I got it done one day early. It's a mystery starring two characters from a short story I had written earlier. The new novel is called The Blackstrap Murders. Once I've edited it a bit I will post online somewhere for anyone who wants to read it.
