The weather report--it is 6 degrees below zero F, but the sky is clear and the sun is shining brightly.
De
spite the threat of snow and ice later today, the little boys and I ventured out to visit Grammy's house. The mission: Raymond and Daniel were making cookies with their grandma and visiting with their cousin Kevin. My sister enlisted me to another journey, out to shop for some gifts she still needed to purchase. So after the first gingerbread boys went into the oven and 
other gingerbread people were being cut out, we set out to find those last items on my sister's list. It was a good thing that we enjoyed the trip, because otherwise it was a bust as she didn't find either of the items she was searching for and we had to get back to the kids before mom left for an afternoon meeting. We picked up pizza for lunch and visited while the boys played for a couple of more hours.
The boys and I made it home before dark with a box full of our gingerbread family and an assortment of sugar cookies.
The countdown surprise tonight is the story Santa's Toy Shop. We are looking forward to Santa's visit.
