:santasmiley: I like Ann.. needed a bit of a jump start to find the Christmas Spirit. I was derading some of the shopping...alone.

John hates shopping...unless of course it is tools or tractors. Tracy came over one day.. and we got part of it done. I went out one day and got a few things. I then informed John... there is a little more to finish.. YOU WILL GO WITH ME AND HELP ME FINISH. (LOL)

He looked and said your getting a little bossy aren't you and laughed.... I said Yep... and where is YOUR Christmas Spirit?

We had to go to Seattle on Friday to pick up copy machines. but couldn't meet the guy until between noon and 1pm.. so he said lets leave early and we can stop at a couple stores. Sat. we had to get dog food and wood pellets for the stove, so went to Kohl's and finished. :laughbounce: Once we started shopping (and it wasn't very crowded) John got right into the shopping spirit.. LOL :downchimney: He was the one on Sat. to say lets go to Kohl's and finish.. They had some great Sales. We have only had a Koh'ls store for about a year. Shopping with him, and have him help pick things out.. really made me smile. He is soo funny.. he likes to grumble, but once he gets into doing something he enjoys it..

I did the wrapping yesterday. Today I am making cookies. I have one (double batch) finished..will start on the next kind in a bit.

Tomorrow I am baking a loaf of homemade bread in the bread machine, and a dessert to take to dinner at my stepson's

Sean & Angie.. and 3 grand kids Keeley 10, Taylor 9 and Connor 5.

Christmas morning my daughter Tracy , fiance Bear and grandson Bill (yeah the big one) will be here (Hoping the pass is not to bad.. 10 inches of snow expected and then another 5 to 10. The DOT does keep plows going back and forth and avalanche control. Even have crews from other cities come to help.

I make brunch Christmas morning.. that has been our pattern the last several years. Then they go on to Bear's family from here for Christmas afternoon.

We got invited to John's sisters for later Christmas day.. so will make a dish to take for that.

Well I know Wednesday will be a day of... resting.. for me.

Wishing my cyber family a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all.
