Christmas at the Funks!

Well, as I had mentioned, Kevin is working today, Christmas Day. So we celebrated yesterday. I cooked for 3 days, more if you count all the desserts!


Here are some pics form our day, we had some friends join us so I didn't have to take pics! I still have left overs if anyone is hungry!

A WHITE Christmas Eve and Christmas!!!  But, the snow is gone now....

Busy Baking

Baking Bonanza has started! Yesterday Amelia and I made Chex Mix, Puppy Chow, Holly Cookies, Fudge, and something else, what was that??! Then I was a sweet Mom and put together a care package and put it in the mail today for son numero deuce, Tyler. He is in OKC going to school. He can't get off work for Christmas break and not sure about New Years. So I sent Tyler a bunch of baked goodies.

Tomorrow is the sugar cookie baking at Donna's house, then Sunday Amelia and I have to make cheese pies, try pecan pies, and I bought colored cookie dough. So Monday we have more cookies to bake! Also have to make Pumpkin Dip and Red Hot Popcorn!

Then, I have to finalize my menu and get the grocery shopping done for that. I'm going to try and make some of Christmas dinner on Christmas Eve so I don't have to worry with food on the 25th! I think I should defrost the freezer so everything will fit!

13 people will be here for Christmas lunch, I try to make sure that wayward friends aren't alone!


Everyone have a great week, I know everyone is busy! Merry Christmas!

Did you Survive the Cool Yule??

I guess a simple dusting of snow for a White Christmas is just too much to ask! We got our White Christmas, as did 1/2 the country. Actually I think 1/2 the country was buried in snow, but I hope everyone was safe, warm, with family, and blessed.

I know that up in OKC, we were very concerned. Our son Tyler left work Christmas Eve at 3 to go to our Niece, Stephanie'shouse. A trip that normally takes 20 minutes. 5 HOURS later he was just arriving at her house! Ty said it took 1 hr at an intersection! Yes, TX got snow, but not 14"! On Christmas Eve, Doc was in New Mexico getting of the ER. His 2 hr drive took 3 hrs and 45 minutes!

So we feel very blessed that family was watched over and everyone is safe and warm.




My car was buried in the back drive!






AJ and Amelia!

I cooked dinner for 11! Getting everyone in the photo was impossible!

Happy New Year!
