I have been cooking up a storm today - 7 dozen cookies, rice crispy treats, cinnamon sugared almonds, white chocolate dipped pretzels, light opera fudge and snack mix ( which took 20 cups of assorted cerals). Tomorrow I still need to make lemon squares, banana bread, graham bread and penuche fudge. I should point out that I was assigned the "sweet treats" category for our big family Christmas day get together. I also need to make baked beans and deviled eggs for the Christmas Eve party with the other side of the family.

I ended up buying Christmas Eve dinner for the whole family since DSis wasn't up to it. Totally not in the regular OR Christmas budget, so I'm allocating the money from the emergency savings account. I love DSis and my family is worth it! I love having an emergency account so that I can actually handle situations like this without freaking out! :scared1:

12/27 - RIP kitty :sad1: - $$ MSU vet center
