This is a very hectic week for us. Sunday was Tommy’s baptism so we had family from out of state here for that. It was so nice to have a long weekend with family.
This evening we had a Cookie Exchange Party…..I had 6 ladies over and we enjoyed socializing, appetizers and drinks. Oh, yeah and we exchanged cookies. A friend brought her baby over too, he is two months older than Tommy. We took their picture together, it turned out so very cute. Tommy just laid his head on that little boys shoulder.
Tomorrow is our Christmas potluck at work, I made the above cheese ball for it. We also reveal our Secret Santa. I have no idea at all who mine is. Well time for me to post this and get to bed!! Tommy is asleep, and it is only 11:13!!! But boy am I tired, Tommy was up for the morning at 4:00 am.
I received my new Quick Cooking mag in the mail today so I am off to read in bed 🙂
I went to a cookie exchange party Sunday. It was great!

Sounds like you are having a lovely Holiday time…. I love Cookie exchanges but I have just had too much calamity in my life to host one this year and I was not invited to join another. Next year there will better planning i hope. I miss getting my Quick Cooking and Taste of Home Mags. sigh
I just finished making 9 dozen cookies. I’m so tired of cookies this year. Never thought I’d say that! LOL! My house smells like a bakery! That cheese ball recipe looks good….think I can do it w/o the pimentos??? They’d just turn my stomach. Looking to make a cheese ball for New Years Eve.

I think the cheese ball would be just fine without the pimientos~!!
