Christmas Prep

I have been a busy bee of late with the baking of all the treats that I shouldn't be eating but love to make!
My list so far is:

Snickerdoodles
M&M Cookies
Oatmeal Raisin
Peanut Butter Butterscotch Chip
Gingersnaps
Gingerbread Cookies & mini Houses :)
Sugar Cookies
Chocolate Biscotti
Peanut Chews
Caramel Shortbread Squares

And still to make are:

Pecan Pie Bars
Pecan Pie (gift for my Grandmother)
Pumpkin Pies (both my boys loves em!)
Yellow Cake with Coconut Pecan Frosting (for Christmas Day)
Banana CReam Pies (for Christmas Day)

Today however it's housework, laundry and prepping up the trays for Christmas Visitors. My first one is tomorrow... and then I have Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and I like to be prepared in case someone drops in :)

I make a tin for the gentleman I work for and this year his brother lives there as well so will make a special batch of Oatmeal Raisin Cookies for him and my mother as they are both diabetic.

I will be sure to take some pictures of my decorated home once my housework is complete. Can't have you seeing my messy place.. LOL
