- Our Christmas tree is up and it’s only been hit by a football a couple of times. Let’s hope it makes it until the end of the month…ha.
- The Lions play the Packers tonight. Caleb is a big Packers fan, but the rest of the family likes the Lions. Should be a good game.
- This stuff is necessary for winter time.
- We are skiing this weekend. I hope we get some fresh snow.

Thanks Shawnna! Have a great day!
Love your recipes thank you for sharing and your cookies look amazing. I’m retired and your recipes help keep me active cooking. Your tree is very festive thanks again, sincerely Mary
Thanks Mary! We appreciate you being here!
What is the significance of the ball of string on your bookshelf by your beautiful tree?
Ha! Good eye! The boys left it out, just clutter:)
We are team Lions, but my MIL was a a big Packers fan, so while we want the Lions we will be ok if the Packers win. I am loving all the cookie recipes from all the blogs this week, yours do look especially yummy… those puppy chow and peppermint bark ones are calling my name. Our newer favorite tradition is making enchiladas for Christmas dinner, now that the girls are older, they don’t have them as much as they used to.
It should be a fun game. I will be happy for Caleb if his team wins, but I am still cheering for the Lions..ha! I hope you love my cookies! I LOVE enchiladas, that is a great tradition!
“Holiday Touchdown” filmed in Kansas City is pretty good for a Hallmark movie.Gotta love my hometown.
And that hand cream is what the Jazz use!
Oh, very cool!
