December End Catch-Up

It is hard to believe that Christmas was only a week ago.  I feel like so much time has passed and have lots to catch-up on.  Please forgive me as a ramble on, this is a very piecemeal post.  Our family enjoyed a really nice Christmas together.  Chef M prepared a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner and Christmas day was spent mostly in pajamas.  The Christmas table was low-key this year and I didn't even bother to iron the table cloth (as per usual).  

Baby O turned 6 months last week and is too cute for words.  This is a shot from his Christmas Card photo shoot.  We used the tissue paper pom-poms from the baby shower to create a fun, last-minute backdrop.  The other shot of him below is from his 6 Month photo shoot.  A. keeps me busy snapping away...'Paybacks', she says.  Paybacks for what?  *hee hee*

For New Year's Eve we almost had to postpone our traditional New Year's Eve Olympics due to illness, but there is almost nothing three back-to-back naps won't cure and the games went on as planned.  For our First Breakfast of the Year we had delicious 'Mommy' cakes.  I used the Daddy Cakes pancake mix for the first time (purchased at World Market, but also available via Amazon) and was much impressed.  I can't remember the last time I had pancakes so good.  They were light and tender and especially good with blueberries.

 Finally, my paperwhites bloomed.  Just in time for the New Year.  We are still enjoying them... 

I hope you had a good one too!
