I managed to get a few more of the scrapbook pages for DH's Christmas present finished yesterday. It was a nice distraction from the whole adoption process and hopefully I'll work on it some more this afternoon.

Cookie baking day is officially the 22nd this year. Every year for the last 6 years my niece and sister have come over for an entire day of baking Christmas cookies. When my nieces 1st daughter (Carebear) was 2, she starting helping and the same with my sister's oldest. This year there will be me, my sister and her two girls, my niece and her 3 little ones. Yeah I'm a great aunt........too old to adopt? Geez I hope not I'm only 41.

We always make a terrible mess but between the Christmas music, cookie dough all over the place and the girls covered in flour, it's a fantastic way to spend a cold Saturday before Christmas.........this time next year our DD will be part of it :) Or at least we'd better have a DD by this time next year !!!!!!!!!
