PART 2 OF THE NEVER ENDING DAY

Please Read Part 1 First

After returning home, the work began. Donnie and I had a lot of stuff to get together for Church and Christmas with our son tomorrow. I did a little straightening up and got the Banana Bread in the oven while Donnie worked on the Candied Pecans. Donnie and I nibbled on some supper while I managed to get the rest of the wrapping finished. All the church clothes are ironed and ready for our mad rush in the morning. OH, I mustn’t forget about Donnie’s Famous Home Made Pig in the Blankets. Will I know I’m forgetting something but it will just have to wait. I hope you have blessed evening and charmed Sunday.

Well that's a wrap friend's. Just think there is still 3 more days until Christmas.

Part 1 Pre-Christmas Feast

Welcome to a sneak peek of our Pre-Christmas Get together on Saturday Aaron,Me,Donnie,Calum and Josh{standing}

Wow What A Day!

I hope you all had a charmed day. This day has been wonderfully full; it almost felt like three days in one. It started with a quick shopping trip with my parent on the way to my Great Aunt City’s and Uncle Boots’s home for a Pre-Christmas Feast. My Dad dropped Mom and Myself off at JCPenny’s, while He waited in the car. I guess he thought that would make us spend less. Hehe Mom and I can cover a lot of area in a little time.

I know that three days before Christmas is not exactly the time to be shopping for myself BUT , there was a sale on purse’s and I have been having withdrawals. I picked up this fabulous bag for Me Me Me.

This bag is as big as a dippar bag

At 20 something this would make a good dippar bag , but at 40 something , I hate to say it but it still makes a good dippar bag or depends bag. hehehe
After a little shopping we made a few more stops and off to Aunties we went. Here are a few pictures of our Pre-Christmas feast.

Finger Food!!
