Christmas Countdown - 2013

[sugar142286]

Here's the recipe for one of the strawberry thingies. I will also post this in the recipe section later today.

Strawberry Mallo Cheesecake Squares​

40 Vanilla Wafers, finely crushed 2 8-oz. pkg. cream cheese, softened
¼ C (1/2 stick) butter, melted 1 T lemon juice
1 8-oz. bag Strawberry Marshmallows 2 C thawed Cool-Whip
1 10-oz. pkg. frozen strawberries in syrup, undrained, but in half

Mix wafer crumbs with butter; press into bottom of 13 X 9-in. pan; set aside. Put marshmallows and strawberries in microwaveable bowl and microwave on high for 3 minutes or until puffed, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir until well-blended; set aside. Beat cream cheese and lemon juice in a large bowl with electric mixer on medium until well-blended. Add marshmallow mixture and mix well. Gently stir in whipped topping. Pour over crust. Refrigerate 4 hours or until firm. Cut into squares to serve. Store leftovers in refrigerator.

These sound amazing! I'm saving this recipe! Thanks!

Hello everyone!
It is going to be a little bit warmer today than yesterday. It will be cloudy with a high of 60 degrees.
Today we have a graduation party to go to for my nephew. This is the first of several graduation parties we have this year. So many of the kids in our family are at the point where they are either graduating high school or college. Its going to be a busy summer for us. But its a good busy!
The party is a brunch so it should end by early afternoon. My husband plans on working in the house afterward. My two oldest have to go in to work for a few hours later this afternoon. My youngest is off today. I may take a ride to the mall with her, she has something she needs to return.
I hope everyone has a happy Sunday!!!

we had the same thing about 5/ 6 years ago.
Now, since I forgot to change the locks, they are all coming home again from college!

Good afternoon, all. I ended up sleeping about 2 hours or so. EA, DH, and I spending time together now. DS is napping. I feel better now myself.

I have Christmas with the Kranks playing. I love this movie! :dance:

Hello all. Yesterday was busy with tornado cleanup so I wasn't able to get on here. Made, I am so sorry I missed your birthday! Happy late birthday and I hope your weekend is great.
The president is coming to town today. Kind of weird because I don't remember one ever visiting Moore except after our big tornado in1999Clinton toured the damage by helicopter. But Obama is going to be walking around and meeting folks.
Hope you all have a great Sunday!

Hopefully with his visit will also come lots of funding to help everyone.
You will all be busy for a long time to come with the clean up, continuing to pray for you all.

Bless you, track. Louann is smiling down on you & Justin a little extra today!

Makes me sick that someone could do such a thing.. IMO the punishment should be the same to them.

I pray that Justin will learn to trust again one day, and will find a beautiful, forever home.

It is breezy and cool here in northern California. Yesterday (and today, too) I have been drinking out of my poinsettia mug, as I said in an earlier post. The weather and using the mug, really put me in a fall and Christmasy mood. Plus, I am getting some scrapbooking materials together along with some crocheting stuff. Doing this while it is cool, really helps! I will be popping in throughout the day. TTYL!!!

It is so chilly for the end of May. We are only going to have a high of 60 degrees today, yesterday it barely reached 50.
Hope you enjoy your cookouts!

[Seawaters]

All of the stuff happening here really help me (us) get through the Christmas blahs, the hot weather, and increases the anticipation for the Season. I love it, too!!!

Love the Christmas in July party coming up....I love this place.

Have a great one!

Sounds perfect! I'll be waiting!

I will. I think tomorrow night, since DH will be home, I will be taking some Benadryl to sleep, since I will be staying up all day, after getting home from work in the am. I will be exhausted for sure.

I look at it this way though...I am one week away from 9 days off!

 

[Seawaters]

I wish we could all meet up and enjoy the day and great weather together!

LOL!!!!!! Time to head to starbucks for a couple of shots of espresso!!!!

 

[Seawaters]

See what I told you, HMG. These guys are SO funny!

Well at least it starts with MAR!!!!!! :lol:
