This has to be a really quick post! It's after 7 pm and I'm right in the middle of baking shortbread cookies - I haven't done ANY holiday baking this year (insert sad face!!) and I am determined to at least get this batch of cookies done! I make them special though - I put them through my cookie press and make them into christmas tree shapes, then I drizzle white chocolate over them and sprinkle crushed candy canes on top - YUM!! I'll take a picture of them when I'm done to post (at least then y'all will have SOMETHING to look at!!)

Anywho - both Tim and myself had to work today, and right now him and the girls are at his parents having supper - so I've got the house to myself. I've got the Christmas music on top volume and you can smell the shortbread - it FINALLY feels like Christmas!!

My mom was also over after we were all done work and helped me do a bunch of prep for tomorrow so that I won't be running around (as much!) trying to get everything done for Christmas dinner!!

I also wanted to say a HUGE huge thank you to ALL of you. Not only for donations for my brothers (and I will be personally thanking each person who sent $$ - this weekend I plan to respond to those e-mails!) but for all the well-wishes and kind comments. It means SO much to me!! I went and got a couple of gift cards from the grocery store for them and also got a couple of big packs of diapers and baby wash and baby lotion and whatnot with the money that was donated - that will be a huge help.

OK I have to run - I still have cleaning to do, presents to wrap, and things to get ready!! I have three full days of Christmas to get ready for (tomorrow with my extended family, Saturday with Tim's side of the family, and Sunday with just Tim, myself and the girls - that when we plan to have our own little family Christmas) - so lots and lots to do!!

I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas!! HUGE ((((((hugs)))))))!!!

Gotta run before the cookies burn!!
