Thursday - December 10

Saturday is my annual cookie exchange party that I always go to. Today I spent the morning baking my cookies for it. I had to get it all done so I could get things cleaned up for the progressive dinner that will be here tonight. Thank goodness all the decorating is done and most of the cleaning. I just had to clean up the kitchen. I decided to make bar cookies because I could get more done in a batch. Chocolate half-way bars. They are yummy. I had fun containers to put them in. I can hardly wait for the party - both parties. I love being with my friends during the holidays. Today mattered because I was able to bake and clean and still have fun!
