I am sending out Christmas cards, but only 18....that's how many came in the pack. So for those of you who read my blog but don't get a card, I will try and write a little Christmas letter on here soon.
Speaking of that, we took a family picture last week for the cards and I will also post that when I get it.
Our ward party was fun. I hadn't been able to make an arrangement to go (Shar worked that night) but my RS pres. called me that day and gave me a ride. I was happy for the boys because they got to get out of the house and Santa was there. Marce was not afraid and loved talking with him. We got a picture with him and I'll post that when I get it back. We ate our weight in all kinds of goodies! It was pretty fun.
My sister Connie threw an Ugly Christmas Sweater Party last week and that was a lot of fun without the kids.....We were kind of the strangers there because everyone else was in her ward but we got to know everyone really quick. There doesn't seem to be a lot of Christmas parties and get-togethers anymore, but maybe there are and I just need to make more friends! Either way, Connie throws a great party.
I have realized over the past week, and over the past couple years really that I do not like to cook, but I LOVE to bake. Don't like cooking...love baking. They are two very different things.
I don't know what is going on but Marcelus is eating so much more since about 3 weeks ago! It is about double of what he used to eat and he is constantly asking for food and saying his stomach hurts (It's empty). I hope something comes of this...a growth spurt, otherwise it's a waste! He's already tall but maybe he'll fill out a little. All I know is that it is such a difference that I am going to have to get more money into my food budget! I bought the same things and the same amount of food this 2 week period as last 2 week period and it is gone! My fridge is bare! He's eaten everything! I mean, I usually have some stuff left over to run into the next 2 week period you know...the cheese, the hot dogs, the fruit, the cereal, the lunch meat, the applesauce, the yogurt....you name it, it's gone, and Marcelus is the one who ate it!

I SO know what you mean with baking vs cooking! Glad you were able to go to your ward Christmas party! We didn't make ours because Roy was working.
Wow! on the Marce eating twice as much...He'd better start showing something for it, like about 2 inches. The worst part of the whole thing is figuring out what gets sacrificed so you can afford to feed that kid. I'm sure Phoenix is right behind him on that one.
And by the way, Rachel Ray loves to cook, hates to bake...
Haha, yeah, that was a pretty funny party. And yeah for Marce! Let's hope some of that food goes to his scrawny arms and legs!
I'm with you - I'd much rather bake then cook.
I totally understand the whole baking and cooking thing. I don't mind cooking, but baking is always more enjoyable for me. Maybe it's because the things I like to bake are sweet and tasty :)
I think baking is more of an art. To me I feel like it plays into my creativity, where as cooking is just a chore...
