I almost can't believe that the year is getting so much closer to the end. I have been going kind of crazy getting things ready! I finally counted and I have found out that I am making 9 things for the Christmas Eve party that is annually held up at my Grandma's house. I had to write it all down so I don't forget....ready?
Baked Beans
small Orange Jello Salad
BIG Sugar Cookies
Fruit Cakes
Blueberry Loaves (kind of like blueberry muffins only bigger)
Chex Mix
Banana Nut Bread
Holiday Cakes (not even close to fruit cakes)
small Sugar Cookies (these I give away as presents and they are done)
So far I only have done the Holiday Cakes, small Sugar Cookies, and the Banana Nut Bread (only cause I had some bananas about to bite the dust). All I can say is thank goodness the other stuff isn't really terribly hard to make up. Plus I just finished making Christmas Candy that I didn't count because it doesn't go up to my Grandma's house. Amazingly I really don't feel so overwhelmed cause 4 of the 6 things I still have to make to get ready to go up really aren't that hard to make up. You mix together and cook most of it like the baked beans, jello salad, blueberry loaves, and the Chex Mix. I haven't ever made fruit cakes before but I got the best recipe for them so they should turn out pretty good (at least I REALLY hope so!!!) The Sugar Cookies I am going to make them big so that I can frost them and Lowell is going to help me. I know that I will have to post pictures on here of some of them. I even got him a BIG container of sprinkles that he can put on the cookies when they are all frosted. I hope that everyone has a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and a JOYOUS NEW YEAR!!!
