Wii-itis!!!

So, we got the Wii from Santa and have had so much fun playing it. It really has been a great way to get the family to do things together. However, I think Len and I have a case of Wii-itis. For those who have not had a Wii experience it is pain caused from too much bowling. Our elbows and shoulders are very sore:) On another note, I am so happy that Christmas is now over. The decorations are down and the gifts have been put up. I love the holidays and have enjoyed the break, but we really do much better on a schedule.
Please say a quick prayer on Monday morning as I am having surgery. I am pretty nervous!

More Baking!!

Maclaine and I have been very busy making all sorts of holiday goodies this morning. We have made ham rolls, sausage balls, reindeer cupcakes (very cute), deviled eggs and gingerbread houses. I am so thankful that school is out until Jan. 8th and I do not go back to work until the 7th. This is a much needed break! Right now, I am also thankful that the weather is warm enough for the neighborhood kids to play outside! They have been so stir crazy with the rainy weather lately. I do want it to be cold for Christmas and then on Jan.1, I want 60-70 degree weather! Here are some pics of our baking.

SUPER SHOOTER

Our Saturdays are busy with basketball for both kiddos. This is Maclaine's first game. She was so excited that she scored 6 points!

Holiday Baking

Today, Maclaine and I began our holiday baking. She loves to help cook now that we have matching aprons! On our list for today: sausage balls, peppermint snowball cookies, brownies and taco salad for dinner.
I have a question. I followed the cookie recipe word for word, step by step and my cookies did not look at all like the picture. How do you keep the cookie dough in a ball formation while it is cooking? Every batch we made they always spread out. So frustrating.
Next week we have plans for chocolate covered pretzels sprinkled with peppermint:) I love this time of year and all the good food that it brings.
