Sisters and Shopping

I haven't done much baking lately which means I haven't updated my blog. I do have lots of candy to make before Christmas, so that will change very soon. My daughter was scolding me for neglecting my blog, so I guess I better update. Terrible when your daughter is doing the scolding. :)

I got most of my Christmas decorations up the weekend after Thanksgiving. My friend Beth gave me the idea of putting up Christmas balls in the windows of our new room. So, here's a pic of that. I am really happy with how it turned out.

My sisters and I have a long tradition of taking off work and going Christmas shopping one day in December. I really can't remember a time when we didn't do this. When I was younger I sometimes got to stay out of school to go along. It used to be us and mom, and we've continued the tradition...I'm pretty sure Mama is pleased. We have so much fun when we are all together! I'm truly blessed to have 3 sisters that are so much fun. About 3 years ago we bought these red plaid roll-around shopping bags at Macy's. Every year, we pull them out and take them with us. You should see the looks we get! Hilarious. They are so handy I don't know why we are the only ones with them. Here's a pic of us before we left the house last Friday. We left my house at 9am and got back around 10 pm. What a blast! I don't know what hurt the most when I got home....my legs from walking or my insides from laughing!

The Crazy Tyson Girls - Gayle (aka Bebie), Wilma, Kathy and me.

So, my darling daughter...how's that?
