The advent and The elf--day 14

Advent day 14 (11 days til Christmas)
Gus was snuggled into the manger scene with Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, a camel and a sheep......how amazing it must have been to really be there on the night of the Birth!
There were great intentions of this being the year to do an epic amount of Christmas baking, but with a full and busy schedule, a tight budget and a little one underfoot we have been keeping the baking somewhat minimal.  Kaelan requested plain chocolate chip cookies, so that is what we made.  Addie and I also worked on making up some sugar cookie dough to get chilled and then we did go ahead and make up 2 batches of Friendship bread and a batch of Snickerdoodles, so I guess we didn't do too bad after all.  There is nothing like a house with a brightly lit tree that smells of good things to eat!!
