leaving for the City!

Seattle at Christmas is my absoulte favorite time to go to the city. It is magical, all the lights and hustle and bustle, christmas shoppers and locals alike fill the city sidewalks. We are traveling there Friday thru Tuesday.... Bill has a business meeting, but I have nothing planned but relaxing, shopping, coffee with a friend and dinner with my husband! It will be awesome!

So I may not write for a few days, but I will fill you in on the details when I get back.

Now new subject.....

We bought a new car this week. We turned in Bills truck and got a 2009 Black VW Jetta SE! It is one sweet looking car! All the perks inside, except for electric seats, but it even has a I-pod dock, and Sirus radio! So that was very fun!

Goodbye for now...

Christmas baking!

Today I made my first batch of "Sugar Cookie" dough of the season!  Next I will make gingerbread cookie dough and Cranberry Pistachio Biscotti! Yum!  So tis the season to listen to Christmas music, make cookies and be merry! 

That is how my day has been today. Eliana came over this morning while Jamie and Ethan went to the dentist. So we made Sugar Cookie dough, it is a bit more challenging with a 2 year old helping you. And we didn't get to take as many pictures as I wanted to, (thus no photo with this post) But we had a wonderful time!

I will keep you updates as to how the baking is going! It is so fun! 

But the other thing I wanted to share, is how God is working in my life lately. 

God is good, His Goodness is evident in all that is around me!  I am so blessed!

24 years and counting!
