Merry Christmas!

Or belated Christmas that is.  Can you believe it's come and gone so quickly? Sad.  And while I intended to take a slight break from blogging over Christmas, I didn't mean for it to be so long.  I woke up sick on Christmas morning like I haven't been in years and spent a few days tucked under some blankets on my mom's couch. Kind of nice to have a few lazy days really. Apologies to the nice gent who got to sit next to me on the short flight that took me from my mom's couch to my own.  Yes, I was one of those people you glare at at the airport but what do you do?

Funny thing about being single and being sick?  I didn't realize I had laryngitis immediately because as it turns out, I don't talk much at home when I'm by myself.  Not sure why that would be a surprise but it really had me thinking that I could actually be silent for the entire day if not for Brooklyn.    

Other than a little sickness, Christmas was phenomenal.  Colorado gave us some beautiful white snow.  I do love snow. 

I was remarkably restrained when it came to taking photos but I did capture the requisite Christmas eve shots of Peanut and Chipmunk...together again.

A one year old and a four year old so enthralled with their new Christmas "laptops." Still cracks me up. 

And Christmas baking was a perfect time to try out some of the Pinterest pins that have just been sitting on my boards. Way too many pins, way too little time.  

Loved the peppermint bark in the shape of snowflakes idea.  Super easy way to crank out treats for all 18 of Brooklyn's Doggie Daycare caregivers.  

Homemade Samoas cookies...these were awesome!  My Girl Scout favs are actually the Tagalongs but Christmas is already a peanut butter treats overload in our house.  If one can really overload on peanut butter.  

And a couple of child friendly treats to make... Rolo Pretzel Turtles and Melted Snowman Cookies.  Love Pinterest.

Hope your Christmas was as blessed and merry!
