I have not written in a long while, I know and my excuse is not busyness, but rather the lack of it. Daddy has had off of work for two weeks and so we have dropped our normal schedule and allowed a much more lax routine to take place of our usually demanding one. I have spent probably less than a 30 min. in total on the computer since Daddy has been home and so my blog has fallen by the wayside. We have simply enjoyed the privilege of having Daddy and Jonathon at home for two whole weeks and have eaten up every minute that we have together.
As Christmas time approached, we began to do our Christmas baking which is divided up into two parts: baking and making up plates for the neighbors and baking for our family. It was amazing to cram 6-8 people in the kitchen at a time. We split up into teams and had about 3-4 baking projects going on at a time.
Lynnae baked some delicious sweet breads that we have been enjoying throughout the holiday season. Cosette, Leisel, and I made Spritz cookies and decorated them with red and green sprinkles, adding variety, color, and a Christmasy touch to our plates for the neighbors.
Even after all that time crammed together in the kitchen like a can of tuna, we still managed to retain our smiles and goodwill toward each other.
Lissy came over during her break from college and helped us bake for one of the days. We had a wonderful time and accomplished a lot in a short time and small space. Jonathon made his delicious toffee and we made some dark chocolate fudge among other things.

I suppose when we get to visit you guys, we will have only store-bought cookies. At least you can keep a couple of spritz (if leisel hasn't eaten all of them), sweet breads(if Lynnae doesn't hog them), toffee or fudge (if Jonathon doesn't scarf them down), ginger bread (if Annie & Austin don't rip it apart). Boy, did we miss out for not being there this Christmas. Miss you all, Papa & Nana
Great blog post, ya'll are so much fun!! :D Keep up the great smiles!
