[...] more granola bars and some candied nuts, and I made the pastry dough and cooked the filling for my all-time favorite apricot cookies, and somewhere in there I hung Christmas lights in the kitchen [...]

Oh the 50mm! It’s so fun! And, at least for me, having it actually made me start to learn about/understand aperture (I know, scary technical word, but it’s the key to the low light pictures).

Glad you had a good Christmas!

Great post! Made me feel warm and happy again after feeling a little blue about having to take down all of our Christmas decorations today. Wow, Annalie isn’t the only lucky girl, you got so many great photography goodies! Looking forward to all your pics in 2009, hope this year is filled with lots of blessings for you and your loved ones!

Happy New Year, Bethany! You guys do clean up nice! :-)

I spy Hungry Hungry Hippos… I loved that game. How come Annalie is getting a bunch of things that I received and enjoyed as a kid. It’s all coming back now! I loved my Cabbage Patch Dolls (even with their bizarre names).

Sounds like a lovely time and you’ve convinced me that it is perfectly acceptable to make holiday cookies after. I never got around to making some things and now I think I will!

I still have my Cabbage Patch Kid — a boy preemie with a pacifier and a tuft of yarn hair. According to the date on his butt (and actually, I still have the birth certificate), he was born in 1984. That’s one old baby!

hi! i loved your post. you can never have too many pictures. i love your Christmas card photo. what a great idea. and i totally feel your frustration on the burning of the cookies. my oven has started doing that to me lately, its horrific. i burned 3 batches of sweet spiced pecans and a batch of cookie bars just the other day. it may be time for an oven thermometor. thanks for sharing your Christmas with us, it sounded so sweet. happy new year!
