My house smells so good

It is that time and what is Christmas without home baked goods. So far I have made fudge, peppermint patties, spritz, peppermint mocha cookies dipped in white chocolate, peanut butter Nutella swirl cookies, chocolate coconut pinwheel dough is in the refrigerator and thumbprint cookies which will have caramel or guayaba jelly in the center are made. Tomorrow I need to make a batch of caramel as well as sugar cookies, then coconut macaroons, chocolate crinkle, cranberry bars and something with dates. I have cream puffs on my list. We will see. I want to make another batch of peppermint patties and maybe another batch of spritz - Heather requested them. I also want to do cinnamon cream cheese roll ups. I will definitely be securing my name - Orosi Cookie Lady. There are about 80 containers in the packages I bought so I have plenty of containers.

I called Jose today to say I was calling about 2 things. One, I have a soccer ball I am willing to give him. He said you must have read my mind. He went by the field where the kids were playing and they were using a bottle because they didn't have a ball. He will come get it for them. I also wanted a suggestion for someone to take us to Cartago Christmas Eve. We will leave here about 8:00pm. He said no problem he would be happy to do it so we have that covered.

Right in the middle of my first batch of spritz I ran out of gas. Over to the Super I went with my tank but they were out too and wouldn't get more until 4:00pm so I did other things all afternoon including making batches of dough and putting it in the refrigerator. The house is also closer to being ready and Adriana's room is all ready. Tomorrow or Sunday I will start taking things upstairs for Heather and Kent. I want to get everything done so Monday and Tuesday I can concentrate on doing the gift packages for Jose's people.

I can't believe we are down to 4 days and they will be here!
