'And It's Not EVEN Christmas Yet!!!'

Del and Lexi start the candy making process.

Lexi's favorite part - shaving the chocolate.

Del cuts the chocolate to hand off to Lexi.

Jordan and Lexi peeling the potatoes for Sunday dinner.

Lexi decorating the Christmas cookies.

I frost - the fastest froster in the kitchen.

I'm getting quite a kick out of watching my mother in law decorate cookies.

Plates of goodies for our neighbors and friends.

The 'prep work' is so much sometimes.  There are presents to buy, goodies to make, people to see, food to provide, house to clean, laundry, work and just every day challenges.  And that all started Thursday when I got home from work.
Friday, Jordan and Lexi came over to stay for the holidays.  They didn't want to make the 45 minute drive every day, so they packed up there things and set up house here for the holidays.  We have put them on an air mattress in Del's office where they have a bathroom attached and can have some privacy.  So they have been involved in most of our pre- Christmas preparations and planning.  And I have certainly kept them busy busy busy.
