and this time, I'm using a bigger pan, and having my baking soda ready for the flamin burn off. 
Kind of scary but......... Oooh.......... it is so worth it in the end. The best sauce ever!!! 
Thanks Callie!Yep, Melody. They open the gates (both esplanade and GCH private entrance) at approx. 9:30 and the only ride open is Soarin. The FP machines are normally turned on at this time as well.
Those look so cute!! How fun.
LOLI have one gift still coming via UPS tomorrow - Deadliest Catch t-shirt and mug for DH, it's his favorite show. And he is quite the fisherman actually, he fishes, I do Disney.Works for us!
Who need sleep?
Oh good. I love that one. Everytime I make it, I always get asked for the recipe. What's your rum sauce? (you probably mentioned it before and I've forgotten) Good luck making it!!
I'm exhausted and going to bed. Tomorrow Ruben goes back to work, so the kids and I are going to chill out. Do a little cleaning in their rooms, then watch some of the Beverly Hills 90210 DVDs.
Oh, has anyone heard anything about Adam Sandlers movie Bedtime Stories? That's opening on Christmas Day as well as the Marley and Me movie. I was planning to see the Marley one, but they are calling it a "tear jerker" and I just don't know if I feel like crying my eyes out on Christmas.
Night ladies!

It does come out on Christmas Day. I read Marley and Me early in the summer. It was a great book and there were some sad parts but it also has lots of comedic parts as well. It's a great story. I can't wait to see the movie. 
Hello!
Well I took pictures of the aprons today, but was very busy with my Grandsons. How did I ever do it with 4 kids I'd like to know?
Anyways, I'm too tired to post the pics tonight, so as my favorite saying is............"Tomorrow is another day."
I hope all is well. Tomorrow I'm also baking soft ginger cookies, and making my peppermint candy.
Also making bread pudding to bring to my DD's house tomorrow night. Yummers! Beth, I use the Disney one that you passed along to me. I will be making the rum sauce again,
Geesh............It is only 7:45pm and I'm yawning soooooo much. Must be the glass of red wine i just finished.
Wow, you are on a bakefest. That sounds like fun and not to mention delicious! 
I made one batch of rice krispie treats. One co-worker bugged me for 4 months asking me to make them after I brought them into the office one day. One day he asked if he promised not to bug me about them again if I would make them for Christmas. 
I'll try to post pictures later.
We are so proud of them, here they are with three little children under the age of 6 and working as well as going full time to college.. 
prayers and pixie dust with alot of hard work.
And i fully understand about it being easier 20 years ago.. i said that in the mornings when i was getting the grandchildren dressed in layers to go to the Disneyland park...man this was easier 20 years ago. It felt like i did a full days work before we left the hotel
Christmas Hugs for all
Yup you guessed it LOVELY Sunrise! The weird part was the gal behind the counter grabbed it real quick so my mom thought it was kind of shady like maybe she was in cahoots but I am thinking it must happen all the time so she just wasn't surprised at all. But the weird part was the vest was REALLY nice and the label was an expensive brand. MUCH nicer than Penneys stuff and the car keys were BMW keys LOL. I guess ol Winona is at it again and now she's lowered herself to Penneys LOL There is a huge amount of homemade, sentimental ornaments on the tree. Also the pic on the table, is of my second son Derrick ,his wife Sarah and my first grandson Rowen. Look out the window and notice our famous Central California fog. 
Heather ,I hope your father will continue to do well. It sounds like he has been through alot!! I think it is cool that he is a minister. A very hard job to fill. God Bless him and your family!I have to work today. Yuck. Don't. Feel. Like. It.
I forgot to tell you all that my father had to have emergency surgery this week. He had colon cancer 3 years ago, and has had 5 surgeries since. Well, on Sat he started complaining that his side hurt, and it was pink. Within two hours, it had burst open. The mesh the doctor placed inside to hold everything in was infected. So, he was in surgery Sunday morning at 8am. He did fine, and recovering well. He hopes to go home tomorrow. He is an American Baptist Minister, and he's going to have his first Christmas off in 30 years. I think he's disappointed because Christmas Eve service is his favorite. I'm disappointed that I wasn't there to support him and my mom. We are moving back East in 2010. I hope everyone stays healthy now until at least then.
We are going over to a friends house on Christmas for dinner. I went to AJ's (fancier grocery store) where they have an aisle of beers from around the world. I got two dozen singles (all different) beers for us to try and sample. We've always talked about doing that, but have never tried it. I also got two bottles of wine to go with dinner. You'd think we were alcoholics by the vision in my buggy. Oh well, tis the season...
That's all for now. I feel like I haven't talked with you all in ages. After work, I have to run to target and the grocery store. It should be interesting!
Have a great day all!
Heather
What a pretty tree. i miss her!
I'll probably let the kids decide. Or maybe toss a coin. LOL
I love rice krispy treats! Maybe I'll have the kids make those for Santa instead of cookies.....
Sounds fun! Enjoy!!Diana and I are going to make a gingerbread house and some alfajores today!
OMG, how scary for your father. My thoughts and prayers are with him for a quick recovery.I forgot to tell you all that my father had to have emergency surgery this week.

Your tree is so pretty. I love homemade and sentimental ornaments. On the kid's tree I have many that they made over the years and some from my Grandmother.Quick post of pictures before I forget how.
My tree.........no duh!
I hear ya there!! I've been maintaining my loss so far, but I have a long ways to go, and I am not making any progress.I will be SO glad when the holidays are over and I can get serious again about getting this last bit of weight off.
Hope everyone has a good day and see yall later!
You always make the best appetizers! I love appetizers, they are my favorite part of the meal. LOLWe just made the easiest yummiest appetizer..
You mix:
cream cheese with some crumbled bacon, diced pickled jalapenos i added a touch of brown sugar karo syrup because sometimes that little sweet with the salty is really nice.
Anyhoo, you spread it on flour tortillas..then roll the tortilla up.. i leave them in the fridge usually a few hours or overnight. then slice the tortillas to make pinwheels. Each tortilla should make at least 1/2 dozen.
Alright off to make some chili con queso..the girls voted that's what's for lunch. It's great being Grandma
