Looking for the perfect holiday cookie?  I’ve found it for you!

I feel like I should start this post with the song “It’s the final countdown!!”  That’s how I feel every day from about the two week mark til Christmas feels like.  Today I ran to two different stores to find gifts for my in-laws.  Since they leave out of state I need to get them mailed out.. umm.. 3 days ago for them to make it to Michigan on time.  

It’s the final countdowwwwwn.  

See?  It totally fits.  

It would be a lot easier if I were a gift card giver.  Just send up a Christmas card with a couple of gift cards and done.  Heck, I could send them electronically and not even have to pay for shipping.  But sadly, I am not a gift card giver.  I am a perfect gift finder.  I am a can’t wait t see their face-r.  

And yes, that does put extra pressure on me during the holiday season but it’s my thing.  (I was going to say Ryon and I but HA!  He hasn’t bought presents for his family since we started dating.)  I have been so preoccupied with gifts for everyone else that when my family asks me what I want – I don’t know what to say! 

The only things that immediately come to mind are things like a new camera bag or anything from the new Pioneer Woman line.  (Like this measuring cup… swooooon!)  But other then that – I’m stumped for ideas.  And that’s ok.  I would rather be the gift giver then the gift receiver any day.  

 I think that sorta means I’m a grown up, right?  Whoa.  When did that happen?!
