The field trip to Dicken's Sweet Market was a lot of fun! I took some pictures, I'll upload if blogger lets me. I would like to go there for tea and dessert some time. There is so much to see there. It is a sweet shop, part museum and tea house. Very cute. There is so much stuff jammed packed everywhere that there wasn't enough time to see everything. Santa was there and gave jelly beans to the kids and a little elf gave the kids stick candy as we headed back for the bus. They were also given hot cocoa and cookies after their visit with Santa. Very well done field trip. Go there if you can!

Also started my baking this weekend. I like to give baking as presents. I had Ryan paint a terra cotta pot and I made flower cookies to make Ryan's teacher (Mrs. Greenwood) a cookie bouquet for Christmas. I made some extra flower cookies for his music teacher too, (Mrs. McMaster) Ryan was so excited to take them to school this morning. I was hoping to take them a little later in the week but wanted to get them done over the weekend while Dave was home. Ryan didn't want to wait so we took them their goodies this morning. Ryan and I also found a use for the 3x3 cards I had made for the craft fairs. Give them to his friends! I filled them out and he signed his name on 21 of them plus he signed two cards for his teachers. He loved doing it. We also attached a small candy cane to each of his friends cards. I gave those to Mrs. Greenwood to hand out for me. Big thanks to her.

I had some extra flower cookies (sugar cookies) so I made them into snowflakes. They turned out quite cute. Sorry, forgot to take pictures and feeling rather lazy to do so now. I still have a big ball of sugar cookie dough left to roll out and cut and bake. Maybe while Shane is sleeping. I have other baking I still want to do. I hope to get it done by tomorrow as I want to ship off my Uncle Gary's, Betty's and Greg's present tomorrow by bus. I just have to wait for one item for Greg which I can get tomorrow. I hope for tomorrow, but anticipate Wednesday. High hopes.
Other than that, Ryan and Dave cut down our Christmas tree and Ryan helped me decorate it. I finished decorating the mantle and the banister. I just have to put out my knick knacks and clean up all my stamping stuff out of the dining room as I'll actually get to use it this year. That and my good china and crystal. I'm so excited.

I'm sure everyone is very busy, being that time of year. Merry Christmas to you and Happy New Year if I don't get a chance to blog again.

Look at all the festivities - job well done!
Those cookies look scrumptious, I bet Ryan's teacher was pleasantly surprised.
I think you're farther ahead that what you feel you are, things look great at your house. I just finished alot of the wrapping a couple more to go but I need a little "alone" time for those - if you know what I mean.
As for baking, I'm hoping to make 3 things on Thursday and that will be the extent of my Christmas Baking, not a lot of time. I didn't even get to make the rest of my Christmas cards that I wanted to send out. Oh well, next year. And if we're going with our plan we'll have plenty done by December 2007!
Merry Hoho and we'll see you on Friday.
