24 days of cookies!!!!!!!!!

Well friends of Harmony, today officially begins my 24 days of baking cookies. I usually begin my holiday baking on Dec. 1st and bake at least one cookie a day until Xmas eve. Today I am gearing up the stove and thawing out the butter. I usually bake cookies for our neighbors and ship cookies back east to my family and close friends. This year I will be able to bake more since I am no longer slaving for a major corporation. I will spend today and tomorrow baking round one of cookies to be shipped to family in Philly. So check your mailbox, mom, dad, Matt, aunties and uncles. Claire's famous cookies are on there way!

On the baking menu for today:

sugar cookies, ginger thins, chocolate chips and Hungarian shortbread

I will be sure to post pictures of everything before they ship.

My friend Shay is headed back to the ATL and we had a blast. We are getting old, we couldn't hang past midnight or I guess I should say I couldn't hang past midnight. We hung out most of yesterday and laughed and joked about our college days and how far we have come. She came with me for Nalah's gymnastics practice and then we dropped the kiddies at home with Chaka and hit a few stores, had dinner, missed our movie and came home. It was nice to sit up and chat with someone over the age of 7. She is such a supporter of Harmony and can't wait until she can come and audit me :-)

Well, I am off to help Chaka pull the tree out, we are a week off schedule but we still will be able to enjoy the tree for an entire month if it gets up tonight.

Oh, the kids xmas pj's came yesterday. They are soooooooo cute. I ordered them from Disney this year and I can't wait until xmas eve for them to put them on.

Stay warm, it is finally HOT COCOA season, yeah!!!!!!!!!
