Nelson, FNWF, A Christmas Party And Baking!

 Friday saw Nelson get his manual license. He was one very excited boy! 
Now we have to do the "Five Car Shuffle" each day, making sure that 
the first person out in the morning is at the back. Until now we had one car in the garage and three across the front. Having that fifth car makes it trickier.
 I started my FNWF while I was sitting at VicRoads while 
Nelson had a driving lesson prior to his test.
 I stitched on the labels on three new Santa Sacks.
 I also make a scissor fob.
My sewing set is now complete. 
Just need to buy a little pair of scissors and it's already to be 
wrapped up to give as a Christmas present.
 Today (Sunday) Nelson and I took Molly and Rex to Dog Obedience Club for the Christmas Party. There were lots of games and ribbons. Molly won a ribbon for the dog who could bark on command. She did it at the side but as soon as I went into the centre, she wouldn't! As soon as we left the centre, she barked again. 
She must have had stage fright! Rex won "Most Active Dog"!
They both got a Christmas bag filled with rope toys and doggie treats. 
Plus some lollies for their humans.
 Saturday I started the Christmas baking.
 Three loaves of almond bread.
 Today I did the second baking.
 All ready to pack up for gifts!
Thanks to Chez for hosting us on Friday night.

The almond bread looks fab, will have to look into that to go with my daily latte. Love the sewing set, it's too nice to giveaway lol. Five car shuffle sounds like a nightmare, hope you manage it ;)

Congratulations to Nelson! I can related to the car shuffle, although we had one less car. The Christmas sacks look lovely, as does your sewing set. The dogs did well, poor Molly getting stage fright! The almond bread looks wonderful.
