(and a secret cry in the shower)

Seriously Sassy Mama - I was a bad momma and did not bake. I had to work both Christmas and Christmas Eve. That baby makes me want a tubal reversal!

Shannon - Merry Christmas! Love the kitchen. Love the baby! Love Waffle in the background-Maverick says Merry Christmas to Waffle. Oh yes, I just did that! I told your dog hi from my dog. Oh snap.

Sarah @ Handbags*N*Pigtails - My entire house looks like that right now(not sugar and flour but the aftermath of three days of Christmas with different parts of our family). Its all good though. And a week off of school with my two favorite girls is ahead.
Im so sad that Christmas is here and now almost over. But we’ve upheld traditions and created memories…the best part of it all:)
Hope youre having a wonderful Christmas surrounded by your family and friends.
