Day 7 through 12 of Favorites & My Week!

I have had a very busy week!

Sunday after church and work, my work had their Christmas Party..it was so much fun! I will miss working there. Monday was my last day BUT the next day I got another job! Perfecting timing...it was God's timing. I didnt even have time to stress about the loss of my income. I am so thankful and excited! I start January 3rd so I have a little vacation through the holidays.

Tuesday I went to KY. To see one of my besties. We had a gift exchange and went to the nail salon :) It was a very nice visit!

Wednesday I haad the intention of getting everything I needed for my families Christmas dinner (I was hosting). That morning I woke up with the worst toothache. I can usually manage those with Tylenol and oral gel BUT this time I had a bump in my mouth and my gums were swollen. I knew I had to go to the dentist. They had time for me, thank goodness. It was an abcess! The dentist took care of it but I have to have them removed soon. I was thankful it was taken care of and now just waitng to have these painful teeth out of my head for good!

Thursday I had to go back to town because I forgot things I needed! Ugh hate when that happens! Anyways I cleaned and baked all day and night!

Friday I cooked and cleaned some more! Yesterday was our families Christmas. I was very proud of myself. I made almost everything from scratch! And it all turned out great! We had a different kind of dinner. I made homemade potato soup, hawaiian roll, ham and swiss cheese casserole (yummy),cheeseball, my mom brought tortilla ham rollups and my dad brought homemade italiam meatball and weinies!
PLUS dessert! There are homeade sugar cookies and snickerdoodles. Chocolate covered pretzals, more cookies, puppychow AND a homemade pecan pie. It was pretty tastey for a first effort!

After dinner we read the Christmas story (from the Bible) and then opened presents! After that we watched A Christmas Story. It was a great Christmas evening. My brother will be home next week so we will have his Christmas then.

This morning, my hubby woke me up trying to convince me it was actually Christmas and that we should open presents, NOW! We were going to open them tonight after supper but he always gets so excited so I was like ok why not! lol Ariel loved all of her toys. She has played a little with all of them. Craig loved his goodies and I got a bundt cake pan, Miranda Lambert CD and colts p.j.'s! Plus our puppy lol.
So to continue on with my favorites. I did not keep up with this idea as well as I had planned on. SO the rest are here but they are short and sweet.
