10 Days Till Christmas

10 Days!! All the shopping is done!! Can't contain excitement!!! Here - have a present, kid!

If I had more than 10 gifts I probably would be handing them out already..... I am a terrible gift giver.... I like to buy a gift, drive to the party, hand them the gift. No, you can't open anyone else's first. It has to be mine.... now.... no... no food or cake, NOW! 

So what do I do? I bake. Can't give you presents.... have a cookie. 10 Days of cookies... I like that plan.... it could cut back my gift giving anxiety a bit I think.... 



Today we will be using our new cookie press to make snickerdoodles! I'm excited...

In the mood for something a little denser? We made this monkey bread a few days ago and it was WONDERFUL. The girls had a great time coating the little dough balls and throwing them in the pan. 



It was delicious too. I think I'm going to make it again today to take to my grandmother's house.



Am I alone in this?? I never liked having surprise gifts as a kid. I was a spoiler who would sneak into closets, under beds, the cobwebbed corners of the garage and shed searching the weeks leading to Christmas. It was not a successful year unless I knew what was in every box. I guess I just don't like surprises :)
