Hello Monday!
With Christmas falling on Friday, it feels like i should have had another extra day to get myself back to work mode, i swear, but oh well it is a Monday and work crazy as usual. I love hollidays, it gives me an excuse to cook huge meals, bake some goodies and of course pig out.
Winter doesn’t help much either.. There is something about Winter that just makes you want to bake, bake and bake, at least for me. I started baking cookies the beginning of last week. I tried several recipes and my husband loved the ” big fat chocolate chip and raisin cookies” that i made and has sworn to be the best cookies he has ever tasted. Well, i have to agree 
Oh my goodness they were sinfully delicious!
Well, Christmas went well for us. It was a snowy day and we made it a family day. Julian woke us up at 6:30am and i told him Santa came to see him that night and left him presents under the tree. He almost fell off the bed running to get to the tree. By the time the rest of us got there, he had ripped off one of Eli’s presents and moved on to the rest. My husband got to record the whole thing for their yearly home movie. I got to admit, just sitting there seeing how happy he was, and him yelling ” wow, beautiful, wow” for me it was the perfect Christmas present!
Eli got to open up his presents too, just by watching his brother doing it and of course with mommy’s help. I got to cook Christmas dinner and with less pressure as it was just us this time.
Julian got a new book that is his favorite this week ” Are you my mother? by PD Eastmann i think… We have been reading it several times a day so far since he got it and Eli enjoys it as well. The next big thing for Julian was he got a sled and has been sledding on the snow. He thinks he is in heaven! He just loves it!
I hope everyone got to enjoy Christmas with their loved ones, lets hope the New year will bring more memories to treasure.
Happy Hollidays to you and yours!
