Christmas countdown day 17- Oh the Weather outside is Frightful

Oh the weather outside turned frightful.... So we were content to stay inside with our delightfuls... Yes we had some places to go... But the ice, the ice, the ice told us NO!

Our mission for today was going to be finishing our reindeer games by delivering cookies to the police and fire stations. And after Christmas shopping all afternoon with four of the five Ps in tow, we really needed to do something more charitable than just snap at each other. But our light snowy weather that followed us all day (and normally which would have put me into the perfect Christmas mood) quickly turned to black ice on the roads when hubby went to get us dinner. So cookies will have to wait until tomorrow because as much as I appreciate the police officers and fire fighters and the jobs that they do, I am not willing to have them come to our rescue tonight.

Which is ok.... We had a nice time baking our cookies as a family. Its a rarity that Punk and Peanut are with us on the weekends and so I am sure that SweetPea was totally lapping up having them in the kitchen baking with us. Especially since it allowed her the chance to boss them around since, you know, she is our resident cookie baking expert as of late.

Tomorrow morning, our plan is to be out the door early and delivering our handmade Christmas cards along with nine dozen cookies to various locations. The best part was that it was all done by US. From the baking to the cards (which, Punk was oh so sweet with his subscription of " Please accept these cookies as a token of our gratitude". Seriously?! Where does he come up with these lines!)
