I know what you’re thinking. Trust me, I’m thinking the same thing. I’ve dedicated my life and soul to a blog (riiiight) but I’ve only written one post. Pathetic, eh? Well, here’s my go at a second post.
This Christmas season was a very, very busy time for me. Not only did I manage to handcraft most of the gifts for my dear friends and co-workers, but I also found the time to bake 3 batches of 4 different kinds of cookies. What can I say? I was swept up in the whirlwind of the season. But, the gigantic smiles and hearty thank you’s made it all worthwhile.
My favorite moment this season?
My cousin Ivy helping my mom and dad make Sopopias on Christmas afternoon.
I have to say, I really felt spoiled this year. Given much thought, I want to share my top three favorite gifts, each from very special people. This first is from my cousin, Kristen.
Whenever I glance at my picnic basket (which is cheerfully on display in my dining room), I can’t wait for the Spring and Summer. I look forward to many afternoons of sandwiches on stale bread and too much cheap wine.
My next favorite gift is courtesy of my mama.
I’ve wanted a standing mixer forever now, and I am so excited to get my hands dirty.
And lastly, Jon’s gift to me.
How does he know me so well? I had only mentioned that I wanted a record player once a while back, but he knew exactly what to get me. I am one spoiled girl indeed!
I hope that everyone had a blessed holiday and you are all surrounded by friends and loved ones on New Year’s Eve.
