Preparing for Christmas 2010

anyone else busy out there? It sure is a busy time at the Beitzel house! Besides keeping our working schedules, there are many activities to get everything ready for Christmas. Some things we just aren't doing that we did do sometimes. I wasn't going to put up the village this year, but enough comments were made by the grandchildren, that the village is up and lit. School was cancelled due to weather, so Dawson and Jasmine were here. Dawson picked out the kind of cookies we should bake. We made lemon cookies with a lemon icing on and then they did the sprinkles. We had a fun time doing that together. I will try to post some pictures, but I am not sure if it will allow me to again.
