It's Christmas Eve!

My parents and younger sister Tammy are here. They made it in this afternoon. We enjoyed some Taco soup and then we made cookies! I decided since I was doing the "big" meal this year we were going to do it easy. Instead of pies...we are doing cookies. (I made sure all was OK with it first.) So tonight we made some Toll house chocolate chip cookies and some Eskimo cookies. Eskimo cookies are some favorites of my family...they are no-bake. I had some great helping hands, Landon and Kaylie. They did a great job rolling the cookies into balls and rolling them into powdered sugar. (I'm really upset that I didn't get any pictures :( )

I am so ready for bed, but it's only 7:30 and since it's Christmas eve there is still much to do tonight! Wishing you all a good nights sleep!!! and a Merry Christmas!!!!
