Christmas is one of my favorite holidays. I love singing Christmas songs and listening to Christmas music all day. :) I think that I may go and get out more decorations and decorate some more.
I love that Christmas brings such a spirit of giving and love to all people.
I am so grateful for the birth of the Savoir. I am so grateful for my Savoir and all that He has done for me.

Sheryl, this seriously made my day! I was laughing during the entire list.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about it the other day, Jacob Lake is probably the best decision that I have ever made. Well, at least it is up there. Thanks for making it so great!
I remember when you guys told me that you made these lists. I was so jealous. I am almost over the jealously now. Almost. Thank you so much for sharing! I needed a good laugh.
Uh, this is extremely tacky, but I just realized I don't have your email address. Here is my cookie recipe. Remember to add an extra egg and use pecans. :)
ReplyDelete(Recipe may be halved):
2 cups butter
4 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups brown sugar
5 cups blended oatmeal (measure oatmeal and blend in blender to a fine powder)
24 oz. chocolate chips
1 tsp. salt
1 8 oz. Hershey bar (grated)
4 eggs
2 tsp. baking powder
3 cups chopped nuts (your choice)
2 tsp. vanilla
Sorry that I don't have the instructions. They are just like the average cookie recipe. Just cream (is that what it's called) the butter and the two sugars and then add the other stuff. You know the drill!
Yes!! :) I am excited to make them!! :) Thanks so much! Love you McCall!
