Well, my real intentions might have been 2 or 3 days after, but here we are 10 11 12 days after Christmas and I am throwing it together. Finally.  I seem to be caught up in the day-to-day of life.  You know, the kids, the house, the laundry, the what-to-cook-for-dinners? Yeah, that. I am not the cleanest or most organized person by any means. There are many times that I think please don’t let anyone drop in, I’d be so embarrassed because it looks like a tornado came through this place! But while I am not Miss Clean and Organized, I do like for it to be that way. And I do work on it. But, my girls are asleep right now so I am sitting down amongst Cheerios on the floor and toys and books and juice cups, and I am blogging! (Does it count for anything that the broom is leaning against the wall just off to my right where I started sweeping?!)

Lately I have found myself posting quick posts, the ones I can get up in just a few minutes and be done with it.  And that has a lot to do with this:

Oh yes. Bristol Bee likes to follow me around and hang out on my legs, and that slows this Momma down a lot!

So, enough of the rambling, let me get down to the point of this post.

Christmas. It was wonderful! Kids really do make it extra special.

Every year for something like 20 years my MawMaw has had a “Candy Making Day” at her house for us grand-daughters. We used to spend the night – and a few still do – we eat breakfast, have an apron exchange (everyone brings an apron and we play the “White Elephant” game… don’t know about it? Google it, it is fun!) then we get down to the business of making Christmas goodies, wearing our new aprons of course! Well this year I was sick and missed it for the first time ever :( I must admit, I was so bummed.

But, that didn’t stop me from going up to MawMaw’s once I got well and cooking up some goodies. Heidi also came (she had to leave early on the original candy making day because her little girl didn’t feel good) and we just had a good day of baking and making candy with MawMaw and our girls.

Here are a few shots I got of Kennedy and Tori making lemon cookies…

Interesting fact: the rolling pin they used to roll out the dough belonged to Tori and Kennedy’s great-great-great-grandmother!

And here they are proudly showing off the finished product

After the lemon cookies they lost interest in the kitchen and instead let Poppa read books to them and just played together :)

Then Christmas… oh Kennedy was SO excited this year! I took snapshots, but tried to just be in the moment more than getting great pictures. Because often if you are not careful you’ll find yourself behind the camera capturing the moments instead of living them :)

While doing some baking of my own…

I looked over and saw Bristol holding her “taggie” and just about to fall asleep watching me while she sat on the counter in her Bumbo seat…

I thought it was pretty adorable :)

And I’ll end this post with one last picture from Christmas morning; Kennedy digging in her stocking… This picture makes me giddy with Christmas happiness.
