Christmas time is come and gone

I love Christmas!!

This year I was challenged to bring the feeling of Christmas into my home. It was difficult. With me not working the funds are low and with a baby who doesn't know the difference yet it was up to me to participate in all things Christmas that we could. I usually have no problem with giving instead of getting but this year I couldn't just go buy a gift for someone. For a while this bothered me. Then I started seeing all kind of homemade goodies everywhere and thought about how much I love getting goodies at Christmas from people. So this year was my year to bake!!

I had SO much fun!!

Here are some pictures of my baking goodness:

Dear Lavender

I am completely and utterly in love with you.

I love everything about you.

I love your wispy soft hair.

I love your long scratchy fingernails.

I love your squishy chunky thighs.

I love your clammy feet.

I love the smell of your breath.

I love your breathy laugh.

I love that you get happy and smile and kick when you see me.

I love that you twist your fingers in my hair.

I love your ear-bleeding squeals.

I love your snores.

I love that you 'talk' to your papa more than anyone else.

I love your bottom lip when you cry.

I love the way you make my home feel.

I love that you turned me into your mama.

I love you, and I always will.
