The cookies are done! I spent over two hours dipping chocolate the other day - I used 6 bags of chocolate chips! We have buckeyes, cookie truffles, oreo biscotti, pumpkin fudge, sugared pecans, cookie dough bites, frosted sugar cookies and cranberry-lemon cutouts. Oh yeah, and Jim has chocolate covered pretzels and ritz sandwiches. Not to mention the cherry crumb pie sitting in the fridge...
Yesterday we went on a theatre field trip. Goucher college does a series of plays for schools and homeschool. We joined an auditorium full of grade-schoolers to watch the Nutcracker. I wasn't sure if Jamie would sit through it, but he thought it was funny. The music was canned, the dancing and acting were adequate, and the sets and costumes were at local college production level. The kids loved it though, and Dot wants to see it every year. We'll go back for Seussical in May.
After the ballet we ate lunch at a nearby mall. I had chosen this mall for one reason - I had been told it set up a large model train layout for Christmas. Jamie loved it! He didn't want to leave... However, he has a cold, and needed a nap. We had plans to carol in the evening.
We met up with others from our church, and traveled to three houses. We sang pretty well for an unpracticed a capella group. It seems the "audiences" enjoyed it. It's Christmas!
