PANIC TIME!!!!

OK, this is me every single year around mid-October. Its time to begin making my Christmas goodies and gifts.

I think so far I will make my usual list of goodies and I try to add something new each year, but
for now my list consists of:

Fudge - 3-5 lbs
Peanut-butter Balls - 5 doz
Oreo Truffles - 5 doz
Ritz Kit-Kat Rounds - 5 doz
Christmas Bark - 2 pans

Chocolate Chip Cookies - 2 doz
Snicker-doodles - 2 doz

hmmm....so far that's what I'm going with. I need to get out my books and see what else intrigues me. lol

I am still working on a layette set for my newest Granddaughter due Nov 1st. My family just keeps growing and growing!

It's so crazy, when I was a little girl there were 6 years between my sister and I. We were very close growing up, but I remember when she moved out I felt so alone. I would beg my Mom and Dad to adopt so I would have more siblings. I always wanted a large family, because as I grew older the family got smaller & smaller as people passed on.

Now I have 3 wonderful grown children whom I am VERY proud of. Each of them has a significant other and I have 2 soon to be 3 Granddaughters, and now my oldest Niece and her Daughter are living up here! This Thanksgiving I am going to be very blessed with a table of 12 family members. Unfortunately my soon to be son in-law is in Afghanistan so he won't be able to join us. But I pray for his safe return so he will be able to next year! :)

I LOVE my family....God has certainly blessed me!!!

Soon I will need to start working on a Christmas list. :)
