The last of my Christmas progress...

Logan will sit still when he has a spoon dipped in almond bark- positive. Logan will run around like a wind up toy when you give him some thing sweet- negative. Actually he was just fine and wasn't even completely excited about the spoon after a few licks. He was the most interested just watching the mixer spin around.

These were so cute once they were all said and done- they are to stir your hot chocolate or to just decorate a place setting. I will probably make them again when Logan and Lane are older and drink their cocoa around Christmas time. Too cute! ( The antlers were a pain- make sure you have time to make these.) Now all I have to do is get all my shopping done- wrap-write out cards- possibly mail them- ahhh who am I kidding-anyone who reads this blog can probably expect to see something in the mail the first part of January! Sound ok???....... I will try and get more up here soon- I have my tree done and some other little dittys around the house too! So far Logan has been really good around the tree, hasn't taken anything down yet!

Christmas Baking!

This is my triple chocolate biscotti. I turned out alright, but is definitely a coffee soaker. The cinnamon hazelnut biscotti is excellent though. It was something I've never made before and will probably make again someday. Thought it was a little different from the regular christmas cookies.

Dipped spoons are EASY! I will make these again- everyone thought I went way out of my way to prepare these- so of course I just let them think that! The toffee bits are extra yummy!

These sugar cookies are Justin's Great Grandma Aanrud's- they are very good and the recipe makes a bunch- Logan LOVES them! I was a bad Mom and gave him one for breakfast the next day- he had some yogurt too of course!

And we are not done yet!

This was so fun- I spent just a little bit of time each night arranging decorations after I put Logan to bed. I don't want to take it down though- this took a long time! I love the glass ornaments- they are my favorites! All of my Spode dishes are in full use too- they are so fun and I enjoy them so much!

Preparing for the Holiday Season!

Hello Everyone! I know it has been forever since my last post- but now I will show you what I have been so busy with! As for the pictures when Mom was here- they are on her camera and I saved them in the wrong format- but I promise they will get on here sometime. For now this will have to do. Logan was so tired out from baking cookies he just sprawled out on the floor to take a break. And I LOVE the picture of him watching Justin carrying our wreath up to the house! We Miss You!!
