....for slice and bake cookies?
Cut a busy mom some slack, eh? Ordinarily, I look forward to holiday baking. It usually goes something like this: create a list of some classics, add a new idea or two, end up baking a ridiculous amount of cookies, feel the need to get them out of the house and gift them away. But this year, something has to give and it's my wild list of baked treats. Thank goodness!
Since Natalie is really into Santa, and I still love cookies, we decided that we needed to have something on hand to leave out for the big guy Christmas Eve. Enter the modern world's greatest time-saving invention.
She took her job very seriously. Check out the concentration!
We decided that regular white sugar just wasn't good enough for Christmas-time, so we dug out what remains of my colored sugars.

I'll try to post pictures throughout our holiday celebrations, but if we are absent for a couple of weeks it's because we truly are jam packed until sometime in mid-January! Here's a run down of our next couple of weeks...Friday we host Eric's co-workers for Christmas, I picked up some extra work shifts on Saturday and Sunday, Sunday evening is Christmas with my family, Monday is Christmas Eve, Tuesday Christmas day, next Friday is Nat's birthday and party, Sunday I am working again (and it's my birthday!), then we are heading North to spend some time with Eric's family, when we get back the kids have their next doctors appointments, then I work on Saturday and then the next Monday Jack will be back with us on Mondays and Tuesdays.
Who else needs a drink?
