Over the river and through the woods

I got done with everything I needed to do around 12:30pm. I got all my presents wrapped before dh even got up. Back didn't hurt too bad and a few presents I put in bags or boxes that didn't need wrapping. I got 2 loads of laundry done, changed the sheets on our bed, and finished the vacuuming upstairs.

DD and SIL got here a little after 1pm yesterday, so they made good time and all the roads were good. Their pickup is big and sturdy, so I don't worry much about them driving anyway. SIL is always prepared when they take a road trip.

They only have the one dog now, which makes things a little less chaotic. Amos seems to remember the dog and while he, of course, keeps his distance, he is not hiding in my closet for 2 days this time, LOL. 

I've kind of been monitoring my work emails from my phone (just to keep all the junk cleared out) but there was one with an invoice to pay for a subcontractor we use. I didn't want him to have to wait 2 weeks for his payment, so I just hopped onto my work login this morning and got his payment processed. Then I logged right back out.

Today we'll make some more cookies - which just reminded me I need to get some butter out to soften. Be right back......These shortbread cookies will be made trying this Danish butter I bought. 

Dh said when he went outside last night around 10:30pm, to go lock up the shop, there were 3 elk and a small group of deer in our front yard. He's going to be happy to have a game camera again. DD bought a 2 set of game cameras for one of his presents and I got him the battery packs and sd cards for them. It's a rechargeable battery pack made just for these outdoor game cameras so I'm guessing they will be more weather resistant than his old game camera which he was just using AA batteries (and 8 at a time). 

Both SIL and dh were wanting to open presents yesterday LOL. Even dd...I finally said I don't care - you guys decide! In the end no presents were opened haha. Yet........

Dinner was spaghetti and garlic toast. Tonight's dinner will be my homemade mac & cheese. Maybe a pizza on the side. Lots of carbs and comfort food :) That mac and cheese is a favorite of anyone who has had it and I haven't made it in awhile, so I am looking forward to it.

Most of the evening was just spent listening to dh talk LOL. At least 95% of it was not about politics haha. We all had to laugh, while sitting at the dinner table, after eating, dd asked him a question and in true dh style, he spent an hour getting side tracked with story after story and then never did answer her original question! Typical. I'm just happy he has someone else to talk to besides me, for a few days, LOL.
