December is Shaping Up Pretty Nicely...

I was happy to say goodbye to November, as December is full of friends, food and fun!  Tomorrow marks the beginning of the holiday festivities as I am off to Seattle to craft, bake and booze at Theresa's with some other fabulous gals.  I am most looking forward to:

• Stopping at Tom's for a Peanut Butter Shake
• Traditional Lunch at Taco Time
• Traditional Dinner of Papa Murphy's
• Mandatory Pajama Wearing 
• Snuggling Babies
• Walking in the Snow
• Group Trip to Target, Michael's, and Jo-Ann's (in PJ's of course)
• 24 Hours of Baking, Crafting, and Boozing
• Making a Triple Batch of Muddy Buddies in a Garbage Sack
• Rothie Finishing the Needlepoint I started in 2002

As if that weren't enough, the lovely Leslie Marie Jones arrives in on Wednesday for a whopping five days!!  I'm so looking forward to long chats, walks, coffees and wine.  She also will participate in our first ever "Cali Bake Off" on the 12th. 

Eat, Drink and Be Merry is really applying to my December.

Tonight my Washington So Cal girls (friends that live in WA now, but used to live in Cali) if the title didn't explain itself, are meeting for our monthly dinner. I've been gone for 3 months and have only missed two, plus I plan on making November and of course December (it's the best one). I am so sad to be missing tonights dinner. Based on the chain of emails today, it is going to be a night of more laughs then usual. I miss you girls!!!! Try not to have too much fun with out me.
