Merry Christmas!

I don't have any Christmasy pictures so this one of some cookies will have to do.

I hope all of my readers and followers have a wonderful holiday! I can *finally* say that I got everything done for the season--everything. The house is clean and decorated, the presents are wrapped, cookies were made and mostly eaten (although we definitely have some left for Santa), baking was done yesterday, chocolate-covered pretzels and marshmallows are made. I. Am. Ready.

And also very, very tired. I'm sure that I overdid it this season to make up for the fact that it's the first Christmas without my mom. I wanted Best Girl to have happy memories of this season, and not just remember that it was the first without Mima. So we did the Radio City Christmas Show, a weekend in Hershey, PA, a Polar Express train ride AND we went to Washington, DC for the first time ever (it was 70 degrees in December so it didn't feel super Christmasy, but still, we were there!) I tried to keep us busy, as you can see.

I hope that each and every one of you has a joyous holiday and that you're creating sweet and wonderful memories with your loved ones, as well!

Enjoy your reading!
