Yes, I’m still here and I haven’t forgotten about you!  It’s been busy around our house lately with Christmas this week.  This was the scene in my kitchen yesterday:

There are now a ton of tasty Christmas treats to share with our family and friends in the next few days!  I am usually the neatest/cleanest person, but when it comes to baking I turn into a tornado in the kitchen.  Oh well it’s fun and my reward is delicious treats.  I hope that your Holiday celebrations are going well and you are taking the time to really stop and enjoy the season.  So many times we get caught up in all the chaos and busy-ness of the year and forget to take a moment to breath and be thankful for all the joy that we have!  Merry Christmas everyone!
