This time last year we had a brand new baby! While I relished in the joy of a newborn, I had little time to bake and prepare Christmas cards and tins of goodies for friends. As I stood at the counter today, Finley pulled over a stool and told me it was his lucky day because he got to help me make cookies! I love when life slows down a little and I am able to enjoy some one on one time with my kids!
We made a giant batch of our favorite soft ginger cookies. It filled the cookie jar and more!
Mom and I found ourselves glued to the puzzle table. It was hard to pull ourselves away after a few hours.
After dinner, the children put on their jammies and then gathered around the twinkling lights. The Christmas season is so short and the lights are my favorite part, so we enjoy them every chance we get! It's crazy how fast a year can go by. As we played beneath the glow of the tree tonight, I wished I could freeze time, or at least slow it down a little so that I can soak it all in.
