Larry the Cucumber's Christmas Countdown

Well first of all, I guess there just aren't many Christmas bakers out there!! For me, the food, like decorating, presents, music, family get-togethers, etc. is all part of creating those wonderful, nostalgic feelings we love to experience at Christmas time! It is neat to hear how each unique family creates their own Christmas memories. Please feel free to add a recipe even though I will no longer have the Christmas Recipe Exchange at the top.

Now on to the real reason for this post: I recently posted about how we love to count down the days until Christmas starting on December 1st. I just found a new one--one the kids can do online. Go here to count down the days until Christmas with that wacky pickle (I mean cucumber) we have all come to love!

Shiloh Finally Likes Her Veggies!

Veggie Tales that is!


We have been having loads of fun at bigidea.com. Games, stories, and coloring pages have kept Shiloh entertained off and on throughout our long days at home.

I have entered to win a free DVD now for about 3 weeks, but no luck yet. The Veggie People are having a drawing everyday, and I am hoping with all my heart to win another Veggie Tales episode. We have only 2 Veggie Tales DVDs, and she watches them over and over again, especially The Lord of the Beans! I used to love watching it, too, but now it is driving me mad! We have checked out a few from the Library, but they are usually already gone.

If anyone wants to try to win one for Sweet Sue, all you have to do is daily enter your email address on their website for a chance to win!!

Well, Shiloh is tired of me blogging and wants to "play Tales", so I better go.....
