What a high!...<br />I enjoy being inspired by your work. <br /> Since your children are young, you might enjoy walking in the yard at night with flashlights and see what there might be there to excite them. Nature can surprise you in the evening hours. Afterwards, smores by an outside fire or roasted hot dogs that they cook themselves topped of with hot chocolate or apple cider. They can then put up a blanket over their beds and read books with the flashlight before they pass out. God bless you and all the best to you. You are so young to have achieved so much keep at it you will always be an inspiration in some way to others.<br /><br />All my best, A new follower.<br /><br />Ory Roberts from Katy, TexasOryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974811533891662682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-79268811865514610892010-12-27T00:55:35.574-05:002010-12-27T00:55:35.574-05:00HOLY YUM!! great cookies. .Merry Christmas to all:...HOLY YUM!! great cookies. .Merry Christmas to all:)<br /><br /><a href="http://carpetcleaning-rosevilleca.com/" rel="nofollow">carpet cleaning roseville ca</a>daphne syhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05101591250732622522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8030308239398272700.post-68229579205486601632010-12-24T13:03:48.895-05:002010-12-24T13:03:48.895-05:00Wishing you a happy Christmas eve.

Put six peppermint candy canes in a one pint mason jar and let stand (for at least a few hours, but the longer the better!).

This year we did 21 kinds, but have done up to 50 in years past. Crazy family tradition that's been going on for about 65 years in my family.

Every year, I change the pose of the angel on top of our tree. This year, she's demonstrating a move from Michael Jackson's 'Thriller'.<br /><br />Me and my mother always make mince pies, too. I think we are doing that this afternoon and we should be dropping some off with the neighbors. (:Sophiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15064552127829183193noreply@blogger.com
