It has snowed every day for...I don't know, like forever!! It sure seems that way. Another 8 to 10 inches of fluffy white "stuff" is on its way later this morning. I can hardly wait.The gkids are here and they will get up in the morning and will say: "Giggggg....I want the super, duper, extra special breakfast, pleaseeeee!!" Just what is a super, duper, extra special breakfast you ask...well...
Pancakes, Grits, Bacon or Sausage and Cheesy Scramble eggs...and the kitchen sink!! Mr. Big says they are spoiled, but he sure doesn't give his plate away.
Hopefully, they then will take their full tummies and go outside and play till they are almost frozen. Guess what time it will be then...time to EAT again!! Since I will be in the kitchen anyway, a few minutes to make a few sandwiches, what the hell...
I have a Cheesecake, Pumpkin pies, Pecan pie to bake. Plus all the fixings for tonight and Christmas Day, whew! Hopefully my Son-in-law will keep up the great job of washing dishes.
I do have all my shopping done, just got done last night, just in time to wrap and let the kiddies rip them open!!
The gkids are very excited, it will be very busy and noisy, but I wouldn't change this time with them. They all love to help in the kitchen and I love letting them help me. We are making memories...I want them to remember and embrace this tradition of spending time with family and friends.
The perfect way for me to begin Christmas Day is attending Midnight Mass...a time to reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas...celebrating the birth of Baby Jesus.
Christmas Day will be more of the same...food... presents...food...nap...snack...
A Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
to all and to all
Goodnight!!
Lotsa love,
Gig

Gig,
I would be happy to take some of your snow for the holiday. Just send it right down via Alberta Clipper.
I will also happily sample any of the pies that you are making.
I hope this holiday is full of blessings for you and yours-

Your Christmas sounds lovely. The breakfast, oh my! Baked Caramel French Toast! It is to swoon...
Merry Christmas Gig!!!!
xo
be safe this holiday season and enjoy your self... heh heh...
I baked a cheese cake lastnight, but I brought it with me to work today. The boys want a pumpkin roll, so I have to bake that tonight after I get home. I've had my shopping done for a few weeks now, but I did just finish the wrapping last night. HB and I are both off tomorrow so we will get to have a wonderful Christmas with just the four of us and plenty of rest. The boys are so excited. They are going to be even more excited once the see everything that is still upstairs waiting for Santa to deliver it. I can't believe I got them all of that stuff. Most of it is Science related, so it isn't like they are completely spoiled rotten. Is it? Are they? I want some of your snow. Can you make me some snow ice cream and mail it to me on dry ice? HA!!! Anyway, I love ya, I won't call because I know you house is full and your hands are full, and you are having a blast with your wonderful, sweet, full, and loving family. Happy Christmas and Merry New Year.
Merry Christmas to you and yours!
Lots of hugs for you and yours!
Love,
Marnie

I am sending you some snow...may be rain by the time it reaches you though. I will post some pics soon.
The pies are almost ready, as is everything else. I am waiting for Santa to arrive...I am Santa tonight for 3 of the gkids that spent the night with us.
I hope that your holiday is filled with hope, love and wonderful family surrounding you and yours...

Leah,
So happy to see you!! The French toast is ready for the oven in the morning. I ran out of time on a few things, but there will be plenty. When I do so much cooking I usually don't eat!! But, I am a taster...as I get it ready!
