It's Crazy

Our weather is unbelievable. We go from a high of 80 degrees one day to a high of 40 a couple of days later. I think it's been like this since November...it's crazy! The girls have another break coming up. They'll finish the last of their mid-terms on Thursday morning and get out at 12:30. Then they have Friday thru Monday off. Hopefully the nice weather will come back for the break.

Back to School

The girls completed their first week of school after the winter break. It's always hard to go back after being off for so long, but it wasn't too bad. I'm thankful our girls like school. They actually seemed excited...until mid term reviews were handed out. They spent part of the weekend studying.

Happy New Year!

I don't have any pictures of our New Year celebration. I was having too much fun I guess. I do have these adorable pics of my sister's new miniature horse. Isn't he cute! His name is Joey B.

Cookies

I make cookie trays for all our friends and neighbors every year. I didn't make as many different kinds as I usually do. I did snickerdoodle, tassie, chocolate crinkle, peanut blossom, tea cake and mini cheesecake. I didn't do pizzelle, blackeyed susan or chocolate chip. I got a little slack for not making chocolate chip. A while back my brother Mark use to come to Dallas on business. One time he mentioned the warm chocolate chip cookies the Double Tree Hotel puts on your pillow at night were really good. I obtained that recipe and I have been making them ever since. The chocolate spoons are a big hit with the kids. Most of the time they just eat them, but sometimes they stir them in their hot chocolate. The girls usually give the spoons to their classmates with a festive cup and homemade hot cocoa mix.
