  3. I want simple, My son and his family home from Germany ( air force,) All my kids under the same roof Christmas Eve and Christmas Morning, That would be an amazing gift. That's just a dream, last time I saw him and his family was when I was in the ICU two years ago. I would also love a white Christmas just snow Christmas eve and a snowy cover Christmas morning then it can leave.
  4. I miss, Shop-co, Yonkers and Gordmans, Those three always had great deals for my growing children. I would always buy boots every year from Yonkers, Leggins from Gordmans, and toys at Shop-co
  5. So Farm and Fleet opened they annual toy land this past weekend, My daughter and her wife adopted my Grand daughter last year after having her as a foster child since the week after she was born, She turns three. The only child to buy toys for. Prices not bad, got her birthday and Christmas Present. I also bought a you hatch dinosaur kind of like I believe a hatchmal for $ 3.99 You place the egg in water completely and in 24-48 hours he starts hatching. Really cute idea and a great stocking stuffer. I was hoping for a a velociraptor, but got a stupid stegosaurus. Was excited when he started breaking through his shell
  6. Tradition, When all my kids lived at home, and Black Friday was black Friday, We would set the alarms and get up at 2:00 Am and be in Walmart by 3:00Am. We had a game plan and everyone had their assigned tasks of items to gather off their lists. We never missed anything we wanted. we were in and out and at breakfast by 8;00. Now the kids are all grown and going to the stores on black Friday just isn't as fun. Second tradition is entering the many contests to win a Gotta deal tee shirt and doing the SS every year Believe it or not the best year was the year I scored three Furby's

Picked up something for the grandbaby and out the door, Next Menards to get an air mattress found some crate pads for the dogs and out the door. Next target to see if they had the kitchen aid mixer by chance. Found one not the one on sale that had been a return they were willing to give me 10% off but that model was way over my budget. For helping the associate I did score a raincheck for the model on sale. Then to pick up my splurge buys at pet smart. Then to Hobby Lobby for some impulse buying. No store was busy, no store had check out line night mares. Home by 10:45 AM

  18. I have made this for 37 years, 2x a year Thanksgiving and Christmas 37 years of making this cookie recipe ------------------------- Something easy peasy Christmas Morning 2 cans of Cinnamon rolls quartered, 1 can apple pie filling, 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans mixed together in a bowl. Pour in a sprayed 9x13 baking dish. Cinnamon roll icing for the topping when it comes out of the oven.. Bake at 350 for 45 ------------------------- Easiest cake in the world they will fight over STRAWBERRIES & CREAM POKE CAKE 1 15.25 oz boxed white cake mix 3/4 cup boiling water 3 oz strawberry Jell-O 1/2 cup cold water How to Make the Whipped Cream Frosting 8 oz whipped topping 8 oz vanilla frosting {I like the whipped white frosting for this recipe} 1 tsp almond extract 16 oz strawberries for topping Instructions Bake the cake as directed on the back of the box for a 9 × 13 pan. {To improve the taste of the boxed cake mix, I replace the milk with water and add an extra egg - or white. 'egg in this case!} Let the cake cool for 20 minutes and “prick” the cake with a large fork. I space my shots about 1/2? apart, covering the entire surface of the cake. Stir boiling water and Jell-O in a bowl until Jell-O is completely dissolved. Pour in the cold water and keep stirring, then pour over the cake. Cover the cake with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about three hours. Combine Cool-Whip and frosting, stirring gently. Add the almond extract. Spread over the top of the cake. Wash, core and dice / dice the strawberries. (You can even use a strawberry slicer if you like!) Layer them on top of the cream just before serving. Store the cake in the refrigerator. Enjoy! recipe and photo from: butterwithasideofbread.com
