Bribing Santa

With all the moving going on lately, I haven't done much baking....as in, ZERO baking.  I wanted to present a good offering to dear Saint Nick.  Olivia and I decided on thumbprint cookies.  We made two kinds - one was a festive buttercream and the other was an almond cherry.  After making some, I decided the festive buttercream looked more....well, festive.

Santa has left the building.
 Here are the almond cherry thumbrint cookies, in case you were wondering what they looked like.  Don't worry.  They weren't wasted.

My addiction

Have you been to Pinterest?  If you have, then you understand how you get sucked in.  If you haven't, don't go there unless you want to lose part of your life by looking at....PURE AWESOMENESS!!! There are crafty diy things, cool fashion tips, places to go, funny things/images, some super tasty recipes - the list goes on and on.   

On Christmas Eve morning, Chris made this tasty breakfast from this recipe. It was so good!
Did I just hear your stomach growling?

Just a few days before Christmas

It was so warm that we were wearing shorts!!  That's crazy!!!
 Olivia loves it.
What has your weather been like?
