Busy Days Ahead

I have been attempting to make a schedule of all the things/baking/cleaning/prepping that I need to do before Christmas brunch (as well as a dinner gathering with my brother and sister-in-law on Friday, December 26).  Here is my tentative schedule:

Wednesday: Eye appointments for me and J
Thursday: Make dinner, laundry, clean up around house
Peppermint bark
Friday: Christmas party with ladies from my old part-time job
Make dough for sugar cookies
Saturday: Roll out, cut and bake sugar cookies
Make dough for Do-Do's (who the hell  knows what these are really called?  Grandma's recipe)
Birthday party @ 7 PM followed by a Christmas party
Sunday: Wrap presents
Decorate sugar cookies
Gingerbread snowflakes
Bake Do-Do's
Clean bedroom (dust, put away clothes, vacuum)
Monday: Frost Do-Do's
Frost gingerbread snowflakes
Thumbprints
Peanut butter blossoms
Tuesday: Biscotti
Candy cane cookies
Vacuum and dust living room and dining room
Arrange furniture for Christmas brunch

Now for the main events...
Wednesday (Christmas Eve):
Clean bathrooms
Sweep and mop kitchen floor
Make batter for scones
Prepare sausage casseroles
Prepare brie
Set table
Thursday (Christmas!):  My parents, brothers and sister-in-law will be over at 10 AM to open our gifts and to celebrate with a fabulous brunch!  That morning, all I will have to do is:
Bake casseroles
Slice baguette and bake
Bake brie
Bake orange sweet rolls

We are having my brother and sister-in-law over on Friday for dinner, but I will get to that menu later this week!
