We spent some time with my mom yesterday, who always celebrates her birthday on the shortest day of the year (what a rip off!). And how does she decide to spend her day? Baking bread. From scratch. She does NOT use a bread maker (which I used to do every week, and felt quite smug about it actually). This is a loaf of her molasses raisin bread, which Lexi and I promptly tucked into as soon as we got home. Thanks Mom!
My second bit of homemade lovely goodness to share is this awesome lunchbag made by my talented friend Kim. You can check out more of her amazing work here. I can't wait to take my lunch to work in this come the New Year. Thanks Kim!
T minus 3 days to go! We are really excited about Christmas here. I finally finished my shopping yesterday morning, and true to form, Doug has left all his until the last minute. Last night we watched The Polar Express and Lexi really loved it. It's nice that she has reached an age where we can sit as a family and watch a movie together, which is a tradition we hope to continue on Friday nights as she gets older. We've got mostly mellow, quiet Christmas plans this year, which is lovely, and we'll be spending a quiet New Year's with friends as well. Stay tuned for some sure to be amazing pictures of Lexi on Christmas morning!

Glad you like your bag! I have a feeling I am going to need to make up a few more very soon!
