It feels like Christmas morning!

Aw…tonight we had the final card swap of the year. I was in charge of treats so we had a delicious nacho bar and delicious cookies (Vieve brought the cookies-Chocolate Crinkles).  The evening was awesome. We had lots of fun-eating and laughing.  It was great!  For our final swap of the year, we chose to make a Christmas card and  a neighborhood gift.   It was like Christmas morning—so many wonderful treasures.

Would you like some absolutely darling ideas?  Here you go:

You’re getting “muffin” for Christmas!

Elf Kisses

With little elf eyes watching you,

There’s not a lot that Santa misses.

So to help you be good today,

Here’s a bunch of Elf Kisses.

“Twiz” the night before Christmas

and all through the house they were

munching on “Twizzlers” with very happy mouths!

Snowman Soup

When icy fingers, nose and feet

Are wishing for a warming treat,

Don’t let your frosty spirit droop,

Make up some tasty Snowmen Soup.

 

First, pour the packet in a mug,

Add snowball marshmallows too.

Now throw in chocolate kisses,

That are special just for you.

 

Next, stir with the candy stick,

Then sip and it will do the trick.

Even though it may be snowing,

Your insides will be warm and glowing!

I love to wrap presents!

It is only 2 days until Christmas. Count them. 1-2! I hadn’t even started wrapping presents. So, tonight was the night. I turned on a Christmas movie and wrapped and wrapped all of my presents. I love wrapping presents. I am not sure why it is such a stress reliever but it is. I love to pick out the wrapping paper and ribbon. I love to tie beautiful bows and make darling name tags…I just love it. I love giving gifts and I love wrapping presents!! I LOVE IT!!

After all of the presents are wrapped, I love to sit and stare at them. I know, I am a tad bit crazy. It just brings sunshine to my heart. I love it!!

Happy Wrapping Presents Day!!

does it really matter where you sit?

Somethings that I learned about tonight's adventure....


1. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, you can see.
(Row 1 through 20 are my favorite spots, but the last seat at the top is a lot of fun, too).

2. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, the person next to you will get up every 10 minutes.
(Even if it is on the last row--who cares that you climb 21 stairs to get to your destination every 10 minutes.)

3. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, the whole arena is extremely loud.
(How can someone sleep through that kind of noise?)

4. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, SHAQ looks huge!!
(Even from far away, he looks like a gorilla.)

5. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, you always find someone to entertain you.
(The row in front of us consumed 42-16 ounces of beer, the couple next to me consumed 6- 16 ounces of beer at $6.75 a glass--that is $324.00 in beer consumption between 9 people!) Another note...have you ever seen a intoxicated person try and walk down 21 stairs?

6. It does not matter where you sit at a Jazz game, you are always included in the celebration!!
(Whether the celebration is because of the game or because of something happening close to you--you are always included.)

Oh, it was a great game. Thanks Mary & Jon for the Christmas present!!!


Go Jazz Go!!
