Almost Christmas and a Northeaster! One-Day NFJG

Monday AA and I baked her gingerbread cookies (stars, trees and gingerbread men). 

We wrapped many gifts, then ran errands (shopping and grocery store) while AA stayed home and went to her 3:00 p.m. golf lesson in the very cold 52 degrees and WIND! Received news that her two-day NFJG tournament will only be held on Wednesday due to the wind/rain expected on Tuesday.
Tuesday: I had my hair color/cut. Went to the River House - the weather was bad! Put icing on AA's cookies.

Made a new recipe in the crockpot - pork chops and peppers.

Wednesday: NFJG Jacksonville Beach: AA had a perfect nine holes then did pretty bad on the back nine (+10 over!). She placed fourth.

I wrapped gifts, did laundry, walked Ginger twice, chatted with Mom plus worked my 4 hours. Gifts for JK and Kilee:

Gifts for Cathy/Werner, Cara, Christa, etc.:

Gifts for Nicole, Jordan and family:

Thursday: Ford and AA had a golf club fitting at the TPC, won't need new shafts until Spring. 

I made two pie crusts ahead and worked a few hours, took Ginger for her morning constitution, did the dishes, etc. Lunch from Sweet Sensations was delish! 

Our lobster meat from Mom arrived!! Lobster rolls for dinner! (separate post).

We made a new recipe, White Chocolate Peppermint Popcorn. It was delicious!

Friday: Prepared the turkey and gravy. Made the Farmer's Breakfast casserole ahead, to be baked in the morning. Christmas Eve Church Service at 3:00 p.m. (nice to use battery operated candles).

We took some White Chocolate popcorn to Hugh and Maureen's and they invited us in for wine and snacks. It was so nice and relaxing, they are wonderful hosts.

Making the base for the turkey gravy:

Ready for Christmas Day!
