Jose Cuervo Christmas Cookies
1 cup of water
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup of sugar
1 tsp salt
1 cup of brown sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup nuts
2 cups of dried fruit
1 bottle Jose Cuervo Tequila
Sample the Cuervo to check quality. Take a large bowl, check the Cuervo again, to be sure it is of the highest quality, pour one level cup and drink.
Turn on the electric mixer. Beat one cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl.
Add one peastoon of sugar. Beat again. At this point it’s best to make sure the Cuervo is still ok, try another cup just in case.
Does spoiled start with an L?
Christmas has come and gone and what are we left with? Toys toys and more toys.
It’s amazing how one little kid can have so many toys.
I didn’t think we got her that much stuff, but it’s everywhere. Not to mention the toys the family gave as well.
Lily loves them all though and we are thankful for every gift we get.
We are now working on hiding some toys so we can swap them out a few weeks later with some of her current toys. That way they’ll seem new, even though they won’t be.
Merry Christmas!
To all our family and friends, Merry Christmas!
I hope this holiday is special for you and your family and that you take a moment to be thankful for everyone in your life that makes it so great.
Merry Christmas
No matter what you’re doing, or how you do it, I hope this Christmas puts a smile on your face and warms your heart.
We are having a great Christmas already with Lily taking on everything from baking Christmas cookies to saying Ho Ho Ho.
I’m sure that come Christmas morning, she’ll be more than happy to rip open her presents and play with the packaging. Ohh and possibly the toys too!
Merry Christmas & Happy Holidays!
Easy Last Minute Christmas Gifts for Toddlers
Are you running out of time to get a gift for your toddler? If so, here are a few easy and fun ideas.
- A Cardboard Box – Lily loves the boxes that bring gifts in them more for the boxes than what’s inside.
- A Plastic Tub – You know, one of those storage tubs. Much like a cardboard box, it’s just fun to get in and out of. And this one won’t break as easy.
- Paper – Paper is great. You can use it to make noise, rip it into pieces and throw it all around.
Let It Snow Mat Wallpaper
We have a pretty cool Christmas snowman doormat and thought that it’d make a nice desktop wallpaper too. So I took a picture.
Instead of re-sizing it, I just uploaded the full size picture (3264 x 2448) for everyone to enjoy. Feel free to re-size it as you need to.
You can grab it on Flickr if you like it.
What are you asking Mac Santa for this year?
What kind of cool Mac gifts are on your Christmas wish list this year?
I’m hoping to get iLife 11 as it’ll be a nice upgrade from my iLife 08. I’d like iWork 11 as well, but that’s not out just yet.
I’m also hoping Santa brings me an Apple iPad case. I love my iPad but lack a decent case.
And maybe a set of composite AV cables. I hear good things about people being able to project videos and photos on the TV and I’m thinking maybe I’d like to do that.
Waconia Christmas Lights House Spectacular
For years, there has been a house, a few miles from ours, that celebrates Christmas big time. And we never knew about it until this year.
The house has over 150,000 LED Christmas lights and they are all programmed to music.
This makes me think I need more lights on my house!
If you want to see the display, the address is 1729 Park Point Rd in Waconia, Minnesota 55387.

8 Super Awesome, or Strange, Christmas Songs
Every year, hundreds of artists sing the same old Christmas songs that everyone else does. Lame.
Thankfully, or maybe not, some songs come out that are unique and stand out from the rest.
Here are 8 unique, funny, or just plain weird Christmas songs.
All I Want For Christmas Is You by Vince Vance & The Valiants
I have to say, this is one of my favorites. I don’t know why, but I love it.
Actually, the best thing about this song is the video. Unfortunately, YouTube doesn’t allow me to embed the original version. If you want to see it, click here.
Are these festive?
Do Christmas lights need to be on the tree or are they fine in a pile on the floor?
