HI Chris and Holly Thanks so much for sharing the football game with us yesterday. The Steelers won and that was great but they played terrible. Even their coach was saying how badly they played and it was just dumb luck that they won and not by talent by any stretch of the imagination. Dropped passes, interceptions, missed tackles. The whole game was messy. The Ravens, I thought, played really well for as long as they haven't played and considering that they were missing a lot of their players. But now it is on to Washington Monday night and another football party!!!

It is so great that you got Christmas surprises. I hope that you enjoy the goodies. Can't wait to see what you come up with this week on Baking Friday. I don't know what I am making for this weekend. We are out of sweets so I am going to have to bake something.

My goodness you sure do have a lot of lights around your neighborhood. Here we have a few people who go all out but for the most part it is just a few lights around their porches. John and I don't decorate outside because where we live no one but us would see it. I do like to decorate inside though and pretty much have it finished. I still have the stairway in the living room but not sure if I am going to do it this year. Just don't have the energy that I have had other years!!!

We have lots and lots of birds at the feeders since it snowed. John and I had to fill them all yesterday and I just checked them and they are about half empty!! So I will check them later today and we might have to fill them again today. I am going to have to get some more bird seed. I used the last of the sunflower seeds so I will definitely have to get a 50 lb bag of that. I love feeding my birds and sure do enjoy watching them at the feeders.

We only ended up with about two inches of snow. That was way below what they forecast for our area and that is fine with me!! I am glad that we didn't what they were calling for. It is really cold out this morning but at least the sun is shining and that just makes you feel better. It has been overcast forever here so it is good to see the sun out.

Hope you and Holly have a great Thursday. I am off to put in an order for groceries at Walmart to go pick up later. I need a few things for baking so I will just put in the order and John and I will go and get it later. I love the pickup service at Walmart. You and Holly take care. Hugs John and Debbie

oh boy COOKIES, I hope you enjoy them, I've never had Cheryl cookies. I love the holiday lights, it is hard to take pics in a moving vehicle. I've had some specters (those blurry images and lines,etc) but others came out well. :)
