Baking

As you know, I love to bake. But baking by yourself and baking with a 2 year old and infant are two totally different things! Nevertheless, today Reese and I made some yummy Christmas goodies to share with neighbors and friends. It's fun teaching her how to measure and pour ingredients, which things are hot, and how not to eat everything along the way! (Self-control is a HUGE task when your two! Or if your name is Wade.)

Besides a minor crisis in the middle when all the green sugar crystals fell on the floor and Beckett was screaming his head off...

we managed to get some cookies and pretzles made (with some extra "love" added by both kids ;) )

Merry Christmas!

shake it like its hot

Wow, I can't believe Christmas is less than a week away! I love this time of year for many, many reasons, but one is getting Christmas cards/pictures in the mail! (I don't love the foot of snow we just got outside.) Don't think that you've been removed from our Christmas card list, because we aren't sending any out this year. I figured we'd only be sending them to our close family and friends, and those same people all have our blog address, so to save some $$$ we'll just wish everyone a Merry Christmas from here! Maybe we'll send some out next year, if I feel up to it. But if I did send out cards this year, the above picture would for sure be on it :)

Jesus is the REASON FOR THE SEASON!
