Santa brought me this book and I'm enjoying it so far.  No mention of butter or sugar and it keeps me from thinking about all the holiday food I've enjoyed! (I'm looking at you Meredith and your crafty treats!) 

Merry Christmas

Hope you had a wonderful holiday!  Horses are the big thing around here! 

Yum!

My friend Meredith is crafty.  She made me this stuff...and I haven't shared it with anyone in my house... and it's almost gone.  I might just lick the insides of the mason jar when it's all said and done.  Yep, this stuff is legit.  But calories don't count because it's the holidays right? 

Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Because I just can't seem to have enough sweets this week.  Ah!

Thomas and friends!

Lee Ann is suddenly captivated and obsessed with trains and the show "Thomas and Friends".  It's a very big deal.  

Playtime

For a brief moment they played together today and Henry could not have been happier.  

Big guy

This guy has really started to grow up the past few weeks. Sometimes I think Henry has growth spurts just during nap time.  He's becoming quite a big guy and wants to do everything his sister is doing.  

Chex Mix

I spent nap time today making holiday treats for the neighbors.  I may or may not have consumed a large portion of this Chex mix.  Ugh. So. Good. 

Christmas photo

There was a lot of blood, sweat and tears involved in getting a decent Christmas card photo this year. After a lot of crying and meltdowns, we had one shot...just one...of both children looking at the camera fully dressed, mostly smiling and without food on themselves.  I'm gonna call it a victory.  (Of course if you zoom in you can tell Henry has drool all over his jumper and probably needs a diaper change...but again...calling this one a win!)
