Taking Stock

OK, what's left to do?

I bought phyllo dough & almonds, so it looks like I will make another run at baklava. Here's hoping it turns out better than last year, and better than the macaroons.

I want to put sugar cookies in with the Sunday School Teacher goodies, so those need to be today or tomorrow.

I need to sew up the felt stocking for said goodies, which also needs to be done today or tomorrow. I'm hoping the girls can help. Just a basic blanket stitch around the outside, but we'll see how it goes. A whip stitch would probably be easier.

Still need to buy presents for most of Jeff's family. Also, I'm picking up some Godiva for my stepmom--how did I turn into my dad's personal shopper, I'd like to know?

Lauren is constantly asking if we can make gingerbread cookies & a gingerbread house, and "wrap presents for me."

Cards go out today.

Pajamas, which I will probably start on Sunday. I'm still trying to decide if I want to put lace on the collar & cuffs. Since it's a plaid, the lace would "girl it up" a bit, and they'd both like that, but I worry that lace gets itchy at the wrists & ankles. So, don't know on that yet.
