Christmas Countdown - 2011

That's the cookie that looks sort of like a waffle, right?

Yep! You use a little pizzelle iron to make them. Just put the batter in, close them up, and the cookies only take a minute or so until they are done. Each iron can make two at a time. They are my favorite cookie to make because I can sit while doing them and listen to carols and chat with my mom! We have two irons so it really helps move things along.

Good evening, Christmas family!

Mouse had surgery yesterday and another procedure was done today - she is home, quite groggy from whatever was used to put her under. The vet thinks it was her teeth causing her problems, but he is running a bunch of other tests to rule out kidney failure and diabetes. So far, the tests are coming out okay and she is in the range she should be in. Tomorrow I take her back for another shot and if he likes the way she looks, she should just be on her meds for the next ten days or so.

Thank you all so much for the prayers!

I thought this was funny so I have to share...

I went to visit my grandpa this evening. He offered to make hot sausage with his own sauce and peppers for Christmas Eve. While I was there, he would NOT leave the stove the entire time. The funny thing? Every time I looked at him he was tasting something (I mean, come on, there is not THAT much to taste)! I think he ate half of the peppers and I watched him bite into a piece of sausage (which I hope he didn't drop back in the pot LOL because it kind of disappeared). It was so cute! He was so focused on making everything perfect.

Ever since my grandma passed away, he hasn't had much Christmas cheer. I thought it was very sweet that he displayed all of the Christmas cards that he received this year. Maybe my overly-excited Christmas cheer this year is turning him into a Christmas lover again

Thank you for sharing, sounds like a great moment. It made me laugh while reading.
