Christmas progress.

Despite spending very little time on the computer yesterday, I did not get as much accomplished as I had hoped. Between church, an Open House with Dots's piano teacher that I almost completely forgot (someone please ask Santa to bring me a new brain for Christmas or at least to return mine to its former splendor) and family birthday dinner for Robert and his twin, I only had small snatches of time here and there. But I was able to get all of my dough made and chilled, and today I have been baking away.

My baking should be done by this afternoon. I'll assemble tins for neighbors and get Hockey Boy and Dots to deliver them. Then I will tackle the mountain of gift wrapping that awaits me in the guest room. Joy!
