Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good morning MMC! MERRY CHRISTMAS EVE!!! (In July) What a beautiful day! A high of 75º is predicted for today!!! Sunshine, breeze....why am I inside again??



The race was a lot of fun last night! It got COLD though! Crazy weather! Crawled in bed around 11:45 - that's the earliest I've been to bed all week! Hoping to crawl in much earlier tonight! I'm sleepy today! I had popcorn at Eldora last night - it's still the best! :smile:

Tonight I need to make egg nog & smokehouse spaghetti for our Christmas in July party on Saturday. They are calling for rain though - hope that's wrong!



Have a Merry Friday Eve/Christmas Eve everyone!

Glad you had fun last night! Sorry it was chilly, though.

Have fun with your CIJ party prep work tonight!

Have a fantastic day, Holiday!!

Well made - if I could figure out how to post a video on here, I would....but I guess I'm computer illiterate today. LOL!! So here's a link to my Eldora video from last night:

Ohhhh yes, there's nothing like walking into the house from being outside on a cool day/ evening, and being greeted with those wonderful aroma's of cookies, pies and or cakes baking, soups or the crockpot cooking or something good baking in the oven...
:munch::corn::carve:

I agree! I use my crockpot a good bit in the summer too, but it becomes my best friend in the fall and winter. I just love making soups!

Good morning, friends! Merry CIJ eve! How are you all? I am well. Right now, the kids are busy playing and they have a movie on in the background. I am just getting caught up around here. Later on, I am going to do some baking. What are you're plans for today?

I hope you all have a great day! Can't believe we're only 5 months until Christmas Eve! So crazy, but so exciting too!

Sounds like a nice day! Enjoy!!

I am meeting Adrian for lunch, and then we are picking up a desk that I bought last week. Then, back to work.
Tonight, we'll make dinner together & go for a bike ride =]

I think we have everything covered...just bring yourself!!! And an appetite...and a gift for the "white elephant" exchange! :grin:









I love to bake too - but I can wait for fall & winter. :lol: Speaking of baking - my hubby hooked my stove/oven back up this morning so at least now I have a way to heat food!!!

Woohoo!! Yay for having your stove back!

I'll be there and I could think of some funny gifts!

Yay! Hope things are coming a long!

Come on over!!!!
Things are kind of at a stand still with the new room right now, but the kitchen/utility area is a MESS - he wants to start on my bathroom next...EEK!!! I just keep telling myself it WILL be worth it!!! (I hope!!)

I love my crockpot...especially right now with not much of a kitchen left!

It's amazing how much you miss a stove/oven when you don't have one! :lol:

She will definitely keep us laughing!!! We are stocked on "happy juice" - we have to keep our "workers" (friends/cheap labor) happy!! :lol:

Haha!! Well, good!
Throw in some pizza, and I'll help as much as you want! And the girls can play!

You know, I'd do it without the juice & pizza for you!

That's what I keep telling myself too! Over the next month to two, DH and my two future BILs, are going to do the stone work on our house, our sidewalk, driveway, patio, landscaping, pond, the backsplash in the kitchen and whatever else DH wants to do outside. It's going to be a lot of work, but DH wants to get it done. Next, he'll keep working on the basement!

WOW!!! Good luck with all that. And it does sound like it will be very nice when it's all done!!!
