Personal Side

Our Christmas couldn't have been better.
I'm so happy to have made so many memories with my family.
We had games, presents, food, Nativity Story (DVD) a Christmas Eve tradition, singing,
birthday dinner out at Cheesecake Factory.
It was all glorious.

Sunday we took down the 12' foot tree......
Monday and Tuesday I took down the rest of the trees and all the decorations.
The whole time I was putting it away.....I was thinking maybe it was too much for next year!
We'll see....

I worked New Years Day.
It wasn't as quiet and lazy in the hospital lab as it had been on Christmas Day.
Oh well.....it's over and I've got one of my two holidays done for 2014.
Yippee!

We had snow last night.......
And we may get some more this weekend.
I'm a snow lover......so this is a treat for me. :)

My youngest son, Keith, leaves Monday to go back to college in Florida.
Our high temperature is supposed to be 4 degrees that day!
He will be happy to go back to 70 degree weather. haha

It's time for me to get back into the normal groove.
Next week I'll start back to cookies again.
I'm going to do one last collection of winter/snowman cookies.
Then Valentines Day cookies will begin the following week.

I received lots of cookie cutters and supplies for Christmas.
Plus.....I had a brain storm idea about a week ago of something I want to try.
If it works.....it could really make for some awesome cookie decorating. :)

2014......here we come....

Instagram photos for this week:

Getting ready for our big Christmas celebration.....tomorrow night and all day Saturday.
Working non-stop in the kitchen with the Christmas music blaring!
So excited!!!!
 

Another view.....another set of trees....haha. :)
Merry Christmas everyone! 
 

Oh how fun is this!
Thanks everyone.....for a very good year on Instagram. :)

My favorite set of gingers this season....

Silent Night......caroling together for our Christmas Eve.

A sweetly wrapped from my new DIL with the cutest snowman sled ornament
to add to my snowman tree. :)

 Birthday dinner at Cheesecake Factory!
What a wonderful weekend. :)

It's almost like a Christmas tree quilt!
Oh the ideas I have for 2014.
What a blessing to have the new year to anticipate. :)

It's been a very good year for CookieCrazie.
Thanks for taking the journey with me.
May 2014 be even more amazing!

Yes.....this is a box stuffed full of cutters from Truly Mad Plastics and
some gorgeous double-sided square cutters.
My family knows how to spoil me for Christmas!!

Ummmm.... This is one of the greatest "presents" I gave myself this season.
Dry, cracked, burning, miserable hands are a thing of the past for me this winter. :)
(I ordered it on Amazon, but you can also get it at CVS Stores, Lowes, or Home Depot.)

Personal Side

Christmas has come and gone.....at least the actual Christmas Day.

But at our house, we are celebrating Christmas Eve tonight (Friday)
and Christmas Day tomorrow.

Since I had to work on Christmas Day......
and we now have a son who has to be shared among two familes
(and his siblings will all follow in time).....
I have chosen to adjust our celebration to accommodate everyone.
When you work in healthcare......and you have to work weekends and holidays......
suddenly the actual day becomes irrelevant.
It is the being together and celebrating together that makes it the holiday......
not a date on a calendar.

So I'm writing this little blurb ahead......knowing I will be super busy on Thursday and Friday preparing for our time together.

So far, the holidays have been wonderful.
I look foward to having my "little" family of eight all together for two days of non-stop fun.
We've got all kinds of activities and games planned for our celebration.....
(including celebrating Neil's birthday and my birthday....which is today!)
And of course.......we'll have lots of yummy food and COOKIES!

I'll catch you next week when every thing is all complete and 2014 has begun!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, friends. :)


Instagram photos for this week:

Hot Chocolate.......mmmmm Happy Friday everyone!

Gingers....Gingers...... All ready for Christmas!

 Taking "Christmas" to the extended family.
(Christmas isn't the same without decorated cookies, right?) :)

 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you;
He is the Messiah, the Lord.  
This will be a sign to you:
You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.
Luke 2:11-12

CookieCrazie's Week in Review









______________________________________________________

Personal Side


Another whirlwind week......and such pure blessing.
I now have a married son.....and a new daughter. 
It's nice. :)
As you can imagine.....I've been going non-stop this last week.
With all the wedding prep I tried to help with,
housing Becca's family for 5-6 nights,
having the rehearsal dinner here,
entertaining a multitude of extended family on both sides.....
it was quite a week.

The wedding was fabulous!
Everything went well.
It even snowed that day.....but it didn't mess up the plans.
They even got a few good photos in the snow with the bridal party.
Lots of friends and family gathered around us.
What a blessing!

Neil & Becca came to a brunch at our place the next day and opened their gifts.
And then they packed for Cancun and away they went.
Happy......very very happy.
Makes a momma smile to see her son so happy.:)

And then everyone left.
I put away all the Christmas decor.....all nine trees in one day.
Phewww......was I tuckered out!
Then Keith left for college today.
And that kind of finalized the holiday/wedding season.

I'm glad for things to get back to normal.....and more of a routine,
but I'm sad to see them all go.
The house feels rather empty and sad.

I'll start cookies again next week......so that is something to look forward too.

Wedding post coming this weekend.....

Thanks for all your well wishes and love sent via FB, email, and comments.
I appreciate all of you.
Blessings.....I count it all blessings. ♥

Instagram photos for this week:

My soon to be DIL, Becca, and her momma, Kathy.
We accomplished much today.....3 days away!

The happy couple.....two days away....

My boys.....sporting fedoras. :)

Rehearsal!

Their day has arrived. :)

Ready or not, here I go to the wedding. :)

Mr & Mrs Sneed :)

My boy on his wedding day.

So proud of all five.....

Wedding Party

Meaningful time in ceremony. Thanks for such a powerful message Jerry. :) 

Awww yes..... The all important wedding cookies. :)
What a joy to make these cookies for such a momentous occasion. :) 

The 3D wedding cake cookie looking all elegant and dressed up. :)

It's not near as fun to UN-decorate for Christmas. ;)

The house seems a bit hollow and sad after all the hubbub with the holidays and wedding.
Keith returns to college today.....and then everything returns back to a quiet routine.
Even though I love my quiet and I love my routine....it's just a wee bit sad today....
