Christmas Countdown - 2015

good evening ! First batch of raisin bread is made, only 21 loaves left to bake before next Saturday ! My son did all the kneading because my arm is still not healed enough to do it.
The making of this bread for everyone in the family was started by my mom many years ago and is now carried on by me and my kids.

Good morning, friends! Long time, no see! How are you all doing? I hope you're all enjoying the Christmas season so far!

I'm getting more in to it now, as we are decorated here and I haven't been as busy. I've had more time to enjoy it with DH and the kids. I still haven't had much time to sit down and watch Christmas movies or TV, but hopefully I will soon.

I have something new to share with you all though - it's been something DH and I had been talking about for quite a while and it came as a surprise just a week or two ago, that she was able to come home with us so soon - we have a new puppy! Nittany came home to us yesterday! Our breeder had two puppies from the last litter, so we jumped at the chance. The kids, us, and Ella our in love already. I'm so pleased how well Ella is doing with her.

Hope you all are well and have a great day and keep enjoying the season! Here is a picture!

Congratulations! That tree was meant to find a home with you.

Thank you!
My hubby was super busy today, he's just setting the tree up now. I'll post a picture tomorrow, after I finish decorating!

Spent 5 hours with my step-father decorating his house with about 2/3 of my mom's village. My back is sore from bending over but I am very happy his house is now festive, especially now that mom is no longer around to decorate.
