The last couple of weeks were a "Winter Wonderland of Activities"! On Monday I went on a late lunch date with "The Girls of Marland Drive"!!! I used to babysit all of them. We went to Brio at Easton and talked about everyone's "annnnnnoying brothers" and "what we want for Christmas"! It had been at least two years since I have seen them all together at one time.

On girls night last week Tommy made us Baileys Hot Chocolates with Candy Canes to stir. They were amazing. So of course I had another one (or two) this week! This just might become a Holiday Tradition for us!
Oh my Gosh! So Tommy made a new pizza crust and it was divine! It was the best crust he had ever made! It was a deep dish topped with red pepper, basil and fresh mozzarella. The sause was made from scratch and he added some BBQ sauce to it, to give it some spice! It was amazing! Best Pizza Yet! I also made a Tomato Lasagna with some of Tommy's venison. There will be a whole new blog about that! For now; sooooooooooo good! 
On Monday night Tommy and I went to my parents house for a dinner with our friend Valerie. Valerie was so sweet to give us some amazing spices and such for Christmas! I was so excited about each and every one of them. Penzeys Hot Chocolate with a Hint of Mint, Cinnamon, Tuscan Sunset, Orange Peel, Galena Street, Shallot-Pepper and Bouquet Garni! We really want to use the Orange Peel to make a Vanilla-Orange Homemade Ice Cream. Tommy is making fresh Cinnamon rolls for our Christmas morning tomorrow and is going to use the new Cinnamon. I can not wait to try them. We have them every year on Christmas morning. They are a family tradition. It is so sweet of Tommy to make them for me to keep our tradition alive!
Tuesday evening Alisha came over. I gave her her Christmas present. I got her a green clutch from Luxboheme. We went shopping together in September and she said she really liked it. I thought it would be really fun to get it for her. Don't mind me in the photo!
Wednesday evening we went to Shadowbox Live to the Christmas Holiday Hoopla Show! It was amazing! It was by far my favorite show of three years! They give you comment cards to fill out when you get there. I always have one or two things to say; this time I had no room left on it! It was completely full!!! Best Shadowbox Live Show ever! We went for a Bridal Networking event. It was the first time that we went to a show where there where linens and a buffet! Seriously; best show ever!
Thursday Audrey was sick and Marvin wanted to attend Brooke's School Program and go to work a little so I babysat. Poor Audrey. She did not feel well at all. We watched Finding Nemo and 101 Dalmatians, got a bath then "finally" got a nap in! She needed rest. The three pix below really show a time line of my day with her.
Friday evening My Parents, The Kahley's and I surprised Tommy with tickets to "A Living Christmas Tree" at Grace B Church. It was something of my childhood that had been missed the last few years. It was so much fun to have Tommy guessing (on the way there) what we were doing! This years production was better than ever!

I wore my new necklace from Lux! It came in the mail today; just in time!
Tomorrow Tommy and I are celebrating our Christmas together. I can't wait. Tonight we each get to open one gift and he's working on the cinnamon rolls. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
