Making my list....checking it twice!

I'm home today getting ready to leave bright and early for New York. My girls (Becky and Emma) arrived without any difficulties because of the weather. They were happy to be in front of a major snow event in Canada. Becky says flying brings out the best and worst of people. One gentleman carried her bag for her and helped her through customs while others were disgruntled at the antics of an active toddler.

Emma is getting used to new surroundings and getting acquainted with tiny cousin Oscar. I'm hoping to add to the excitement soon.

Can you smell the cookies baking? You know it can't be Christmas without Boy Wonder's favorite cookies Oatmeal Scotchies. I couldn't find our favorite Archway tea cake cookies, so I baked a batch to take with us. I still have fudge to make, ginger snaps, and a list of things to pack that keeps on growing. I'm not sure how Santa keeps up with everything do you? I've made my list and happily am checking off items.

I can assure you of lots of pictures. On Monday, we have the family portrait made with the entire family except Jerry who couldn't get off work.

Keep us in your prayers. We are heading into snow and ice but also love hugs and giggles. Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and are surrounded by those you love the best.
