(To the tune of "The 12 Days of Christmas")
On the Night of Christmas Eve I made for the family I love:
12 Ginger-chocolate chip biscotti
11 Fresh-baked dinner rolls
10 Mounds of garlic mashed potatoes
9 Types of crackers for the cheese ball
8 Black olives for kids' pinkies
7 Cups of cornbread stuffing
6 Big scoops of cranberry-orange relish
5 Splashes of red wine reduction gravy
4 Heaps of green beans
3 Bowls of spinach-feta dip
2 Pounds of chocolate in the fountain
And a roast goose with molasses glaze.
OK, I didn't actually make the crackers or the olives or the chocolate. I did make everything else from scratch though, and I managed to knit a few last-minute scarves, and wrapped a bunch of gifts. I'm counting those as things I finished this week.

My mouth is watering, I also want some olives for all my fingers.
I came from a comment that said three under two. I had that a couple of years back. Glad to see it's not terminal. We had five week old twins placed with us in February '05 and in September '05 their 1 year old brother joined us. Their mama also had a baby in November of '05, but we were up to our ears in crazy at that point, so she is living with another family where she can get the attention every princess deserves. Anyway, looking forward to reading up on your adventures.
Mmmm...yummy. You were very productive indeed. Glad you had a yummy holiday!
I wish I had dinner at your house. Spinach feta dip sounds really good. I only made the Knorr kind. .
