I had a busy day today! First, I went on an interview for Target Corporation that lasted 2 hours! Yay for a good interview! Then I went to two grocery stores, Safeway and Trader Joes. I quickly unloaded everything from my garage to our upstairs apartment, unloaded the dishwasher and started the laundry, and then Travis was home!

We caught up on each other's days and decided to hit our apartment gym for a little run (since it was too dark and cold outside). We cooked dinner, waldorf chicken salad (one of my favs) and watched a little tv. I mentioned to Travis that I had bought a bag of marchmallows to use in the future for the rest of the rice cripies we have to make rice cripy treats. He quickly wanted to know if he could have a few marshmallows and that tunred into me making Rice Crispy treats tonight. So, I did and they were amazing. I forwarned him that I was going to be baking a lot later this week and he said, well we will just make sure to take a lot to his parents' house this weekend. I said, OK!

I am planning to bake a few items this week! On my list is:
Sugar Cookies in various shapes
Pretzel rods with milk chocolate and white chocolate
Candied walnuts

I am looking forward to doing all of this baking!

Travis and I are also planning to go drive around the Folsom area and look at Christmas lights on Wednesday. I also plan to make Apple Cider. We have been drinking a lot of hot cocoa these past couple of weeks. I bought whipping cream so not only were we having hot cocoa, but we were also enjoying homemade whipped cream with out hot drink. It is a lovely treat.

We are both getting anxious to head to the Sierra mountains for Christmas with the Fords and then heading out to CO on Christmas Eve. We are very fortunate to make it out to CO for the holiday.

Love to all!
