Christmas Baking

I LOVE Christmas Baking!!! This year is the first year that I did it alone, but I still had so much fun! I got up at 8:30 that day, started baking at 9:00 and didn't finish cleaning up until 9:00pm!! This is with an about 1 hour break to run to wal-mart! The day just seemed to go by sooo fast! Here is all that I made... along with Fudge & Sugar Cookies! :)

House Shopping

Landan and I also having something else exciting going on in our life right now! We have been looking at houses!! We started looking this summer, but really just started getting serious the last couple of months! It's really the perfect time, with the really low interest rates! It will also work out for us because we're just paying rent month by month, so we can be very flexible! Anyways, we put an offer on a house last week!! It was very exciting, but at the same time, we're trying not to get too excited because it could be a very long process. The house is a 'Short Sale.' This doesn't at all mean that it will be quick! It actually takes longer! A short sale means that the house has been taken over by the bank that holds the loan, but it is not a foreclosure. The house has been taken away because of unfortunate events that have forced the owner to no longer be able to pay. Our Realtor has sent the offer to the bank that own it, but it could take up to 45 days for us to get an offer.. So, we're just doing our best to wait patiently :)
