It's been snowing almost all day - my kind of Christmas Eve! On the noon news, they said our area had 7 1/2" and it's been coming down harder since then.
Bill got a call to go hunting with some guys and even skipped lunch! He'll be good and hungry for soup with family here tonight! I'm hungry just smelling it. He has just gotten back and has quickly shoveled the sidewalk and is getting ready to use the loader to clear the driveway.
Today, I've made toffee (my favorite Christmas treat), baked some bars, put one soup in the crock pot and have chopped the onions, carrots & celery for the other one.
Will kind of wait to cut cheese, beef stick, etc. until we know everybody can get here. The snow isn't blowing this time, it's just getting a little deep. So far Christmas Eve services haven't been canceled. This time last year, we were in Indiana but everyone here had to stay home for Christmas. They had a blizzard on this day.
Have a fun and happy Christmas and take time to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season!
PS - leave a comment with what you're doing for Christmas! I've heard that you like reading the comments as much as I like getting them!

Wishing we were attending the Kemna Christmas. I have such fond memories:) We can be quite a loud bunch!!!! We are doing nothing for Christmas eve, we still wrap gifts after Chance goes to bed. He's 17, think he's caught on yet?? Except sometimes I am ready for bed before he is,.......Tomorrow we may go to the movie True Grit.
We went to Mom and Dad's on Christmas Eve. We had pizza and mom's delicious homemade vegetable soup! Lots of candies, cookies, and everybody's favorite dessert - Aunt Waneta's special cake! :) We do a gift exchange and then have an euchre tournament. Paul and Carrie won! They won last year too. We are not sure that has happened before! Paul, Amy, and Braxton could not be there but everyone else could make it. Good food and great fun!!
