Whew....

Boy oh boy did we have a busy weekend!!! Friday night I was
suppose to go to a cookie exchange, and I was so excited to go, but Allyson came home from school Friday with her stomach hurting and just kind of laid on me all day, so I ended up staying home from the cookie exchange. These are the cookies that I made for the exchange. They are very tasty, and I like that they aren't that sweet of a cookie. That night she was very sweet and we had this conversation:
Allyson: I'm sorry you had to miss your cookie party.
Me: It's alright.
Allyson: Thank you for staying home with me, it makes me feel better.
That was enough reason for me to stay home right there.

Saturday we had my Mom's side of the family over for a Christmas party, so I started the day by cleaning the house and getting ready for that. We had a good time and everyone enjoyed themselves.

Sunday I got to take Allyson to go see The Nutcracker and she really enjoyed herself!! It was so pretty. It had been years since I have seen it, and I think I liked it more as an adult that I did as a child. It was so nice to walk around the auditorium and see all the little girls dressed in their Christmas dresses.

This coming weekend is booking up pretty fast too! Friday night is my Grandmother's birthday party, Saturday night we are having Steve's parents over for dinner and doing Christmas with them, and then on Sunday night we are going to a friends house for dinner! I love all the get together's over the holidays!
