so tired, so busy, so excited!

i absolutely love this time of year. everything about it is festive...except traffic and long lines at stores! but, i'm in such a good spirit that those things rarely bother me:) anyways, tonight we had some friends of ours over for dinner and games. i was all domestic diva and made honey spiral ham and creamy potato soup. i get so nervous when i make things for people. i so desperately want them to like it. but, i think it turned out well. i thought it tasted good and there weren't many leftovers, so i think that's a good sign. i took a pic of the pretty table but i'm too lazy to go get the camera to load the pics. sorry! either way it was a great time.

tomorrow i've got plans to continue the domestic divaship by doing some holiday baking. i'll be making fudge (white chocolate and regular chocolate with walnuts), scotcheroos (a rice krispy type with a chocolate/butterscotch frosting), puppy chow (amazingness, melt in your mouth, i can't explain what it is you just have to try it, goodness!), white chocolate covered pretzels, and caramels. this will be my first time making caramels so i'm hoping they turn out. the recipe doesn't seem too hard but we'll see. what's even better is my lil sis is stopping by to help out! i think that's the best part. we can catch up on all our recent gossip while making sweet treats for our mens. ahhh, did i mention i love this time of year?!?!
