The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 4

Today we didn’t do a lot, but we did make fudge – our special recipe from Bill’s grandmother. The timing of the fudge can be a little tricky, but Bethany got it right the first time this year. It was great. Then early evening I let the kids put the snowflakes on the rec room doors. We had just enough and they look nice. It wasn’t much, but we did something. We also did a little wrapping and listened to music and it was nice. Well, everything was pretty nice except we have no hot water. Woke up this morning to only cold – very cold water. Finally, got a service guy out here and we have to get a whole new unit – we have a tankless hot water system instead of a hot water heater. Anyway, I guess that’s what we will be getting done tomorrow.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 3

Today we made the box of goodies for the package delivery guys. We took a box from one of our deliveries and wrapped it with some Christmas paper and then filled it with all kinds of things – chips, cookies, candy bars, beef sticks, candy canes, etc. We had a lot of fun getting it all ready and we even have some stuff left over for when it starts to get low. We really like doing this and the kids are always so excited when the delivery guys start taking things – I did have to tell them if they stand at the windows and watch then people feel funny about taking stuff. So, hopefully they learned that last year.

We had a nice day and even got the beads on our family room tree. I guess we will be decorating it soon.
