- Angel costumes are assembled. "Assembled," I have come to realize, is not the same as "done." Though all the pieces are together, and the edges have been serged, I still need to turn up the hems/cuffs/collars, get some silver trim on them, and put a button & loop at the back of the neck. I predict that I will have an industrial sized bottle of fabric glue on Sunday, and not come home between practice/Sunday School/church and the show itself (about a three hour window).
- This year's Christmas cookies will be: Pecan Tassies, Jam Thumbprints (a new recipe I'm trying for the first time), Chocolate mint-dipped Oreos, Buckeyes (peanut butter balls dipped in chocolate), Gingerbread men, and Sugar cookies (Kids decorated those yesterday at my Dad's house--I have pictures, but can't download them yet.)
- Christmas dresses are not begun. That's high on tonight's adgenda.
- I took Lauren back to the ped again--her cough and drippy nose are better but not gone, and I still have to give her medicine at bedtime, on top of her antibiotics. So we got a scrip for a new antibiotic. Hopefully it does the trick.
I bought a couple boxes of butter & cream cheese, and powdered sugar & peanut butter, but I still need pecans and coconut, to say nothing of five pounds of dipping chocolate. I also need a bunch of tins or plates so that I can give them to people.

We're having our annual baking day (part deux) next week, and the treats you mentioned are inspiring me. Can you give me a good, simple recipe for gingerbread cookies? I've never made gingerbread before, but this feels like the year to try. :)
This http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Eileens-Spicy-Gingerbread-Men/Detail.aspx is the one I'm planning on trying. I'll post pictures, Pioneer Woman-style, when we do them!
