Preparations

Much of yesterday was spent making preparations.


The Girl and I make an ornament every year. This lovely pile will be gifted to friends and family soon. Ours is already on the tree.









The Christmas letter is written, the cards are signed, the envelopes are stamped and addressed. Best part? The post office delivered the stamps with my mail. Awesome.

















And hubbo and I have been busy baking. Many of these have already been wrapped up to be delivered today to coworkers. One or two *might* have been comsumed along the way. Don't worry mom - we've got more and he wants to make more, so we'll have some for you!

Best part about this weekend? Three gifts off the needles. Pictures soon.
