Today I made two kinds of Christmas cookies to round out the two kinds I made yesterday and last weekend. I also made chocolate-covered pretzels. This in no way compares with the six or seven kinds of fanciful cookies my mom makes every Christmas. But, someday, I may do just as well.
A week from now we'll be heading home to Colorado for a few weeks! We're going to drive, which is a little scary, but hopefully we'll avoid any major snowstorms. I foresee us getting stuck somewhere in Nebraska for three days...
I've been sending out Christmas cards like a real adult, as well. :)
Work on the house has slowed lately...Ryan's struggling to strip the old white paint from inside all of the cabinets. I think we'll make a lot of progress in the last few weeks of Christmas break when we come back before school starts again. (This whole school schedule is pretty great....)
Here are the photos we put on our Christmas card:
This photo of the house was taken by Ryan after we had our first real snow a few weeks ago. Isn't he good? Our house is sort of chunky looking...the teeny windows don't help that. But, I do like our wreath. We plan to replace all the house's windows this coming spring or summer. They are currently single pane...which is not energy efficient.
The top photo of Ryan and I was taken in Colorado during Thanksgiving Break after I was pretty much over the flu I contracted a day and a half in to the trip.
Merry Christmas!
- Maria and Ryan
