Christmas 2014

I SURE DO LIKE THOSE 

CHRISTMAS COOKIES, SUGAR.

I SURE DO LIKE THOSE 

CHRISTMAS COOKIES, BABE.

Momma messed up and used melted butter, so the cookies
weren't "cut out" for cut out cookies. Circles would have to work.
But they baked fine, and Braylin had so fun decorating.
AND THEY WERE YUMMMMMY!

FOR US.

all dressed in her Christmas PJs.

Cookies for FOR SANTA CLAUSE!

Braylin and Fibi set Santa up with cookies and milk!
They even left a plate of fresh broccoli for the reindeer!

JUST LOOK at that face. So proud and excited!
I thought the doll house would be the most exciting, because
thats what she asked santa for...
"HER WORK" desk was a HIT. She loved it!

always exciting to open the stocking!

she'd been asking for this dancing puppy for months!
SURPRISE!!!

Braylin and some of her top peeps came over to watch her enjoy Christmas!
We had a wonderful morning together!

SUG testing some toys out with Bray!

And this beauty made Christmas taste all the better!
CINNAMON-STREUSSEL-FRENCH-TOAST-FAT-BUTT-CAKE
DRIZZLED IN MAPLE SYRUP
and maybe a little bacon on the side.
YUM!
NOPE, WE WEREN'T FEELING GUILTY EITHER!
Merry Christmas to EVERYBODY!

The day after Christmas, 

Braylin and I had a special delivery to make:

We took new flowers and a little Santa to Boston.

this little girl watches Momma...
I always try to fix any headstones where flowers may have fallen or blown off.
On this day, Braylin told me that before we left that she needed to help a few people....
She ran across the cemetery to fix flowers on several headstones.
She is such a special little girl.
AND THATS WHAT CHRISTMAS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT.
GIVE. GIVE. GIVE. IN ANY WAY YOU KNOW HOW.
BECAUSE HE FIRST GAVE TO US.
